about me

I was born and raised in central Ohio, with family roots in West Virginia as well. I now live in coastal Florida and really enjoy having so much fresh seafood available. There are a lot of great restaurants in this area, but I decided a couple of years ago that I could make equally delicious food at home for a fraction of the cost. Since then, I've been honing my skills, trying different recipes, which in turn help me to develop new skills and try new things. I also watch a lot of Food Network TV, which gives me even greater confidence to experiment.

Favorite Foods:

Love anything that comes from the ocean. I try to have a meal centered around seafood at least once a week. I am also a big fan of using the freshest vegetables I can. It is rare that I buy frozen or canned, unless there is not a viable alternative. I also try to get organic/local as much as possible.

Since moving to the south, I've really embraced some of the great flavors that originate from here. Collard greens, corn bread, sweet tea. YUM! Still looking for the perfect Cincinnati-style chili recipe.
