Today is the day!!

January 14, 2013....weird out of the blue day to start but here it is!!  Food to me is something that we have to have on a daily basis, we need it to survive.  Sure we can go without it but why would we want to??  The way I try and treat food is simply to make it simple, make it taste good and hope that my twelve year old still picky eater will at least get half of it down her lovely gullet!!

A little about me.  I currently reside in Bountiful, Utah and have the hope and dreams of many other "foodies" of opening my own restaurant, being my own boss, making my own recipes and hoping others appreciate and like my food enought to pay actual money for it.  I am with the love of my life and have been for ten years.  We have a blended family although alot of people comment they never knew that until I tell them.  We have a beautiful twelve year old daughter and Mr. Foodie has an eighteen year old son.  We also share our home with my "fur child" Pudge (a one of a kind Chihuahua), an all black silky smooth rabbit named Monty and a dwarf hamster named Pepperoni (peppers for short).  Mr. Foodie is a Boilermaker by trade and travels when he is called out.  I stay at home and have for the past six years.  I have had two back surgeries this year but am finally getting my life back after an injury.  Lil' Girl Foodie goes to school and tries to tell me how to do everything!! 

I want to acheive a few things with this blog.....1) get my food voice out there, 2) have some cooking classes that will be filled!! 3) Maybe be invited to Ina Gartens to learn some things!!...okay the last one is a stretch but I love her and think she is great!!  If there is ever anything that is wanted or needed please let me know!!
