The beginning.....

I am 42 years old and am a self taught chef (pretty much).  I have started a few food business’ in the DC Metro area- both successful and not so much.  For the past 6 months I have been on the verge of giving up.   I have become uninspired and downright lazy. 

I read various blogs and check stuff out online but it often leaves me more anxious then when I start.  My ingredients don’t come out of the grocery bags looking amazing like they do on some food blogs I see and to be honest just looking at those pictures stresses me out the way fashion magazines play on women’s insecurities.  My family suggests that I write a book, a cookbook, etc.  The cookbook…. Well, I certainly could but I believe you need a theme and right now I just don’t see one.  (In case you didn’t notice yet I am perfectly awesome at throwing up road blocks and walls.)  But I will say this, I have a lot of ideas and I think I just need some sort of clarity and path.  Maybe putting down my recipes/ ideas/ stories in cyberspace is just what will help me with said clarity and I am ready to give it a whirl.

So this will be a documentation of all the things I cook, some good, some great… and I may even throw in a video here or there.  

Welcome to my world of food, hang on for the ride!
