Favorite Foods:

Almost any Italian Cuisine, good 'ol Southern cooking, most seafood, some Asian, some Greek, and a good steak!

Who are your favorite chefs/cooks?

My most favorite chefs are those I've found on the 'net, many of whom are much more creative than the 'famous' chefs.

About Me:

I am a trained chef, and own my own catering company. Cooking is a true passion of mine, professionally, as well as personally. I am happiest in the kitchen, and always excited to try new recipes and expand my food horizons. I also enjoy blogging, gardening, reading, and spending time with my 3 wonderful dogs, and even more wonderful hubby. ;-)

Do you have a food related blog?

Yes

Mexican Chorizo Pizzas

Tonight was movie night at our house, and I wanted to fix a great (but easy) 'hands on' dinner for us to eat while we watched a long-awaited movie. The movie was a bit of a disappointment, but these little pizzas received two thumbs up!
See the recipe here...

It's A Wrap!

With the onset of warmer weather, I'm all about 'lighter' meals, especially one I can munch on while doing almost any other task, be it reading, writing, driving,(oops, not so safe, say the 'driving police', lol) or taking a walk.
Wraps are my new favorite, and I'm finding some delicious recipes!
For those who may not know, 'wraps' are almost any combination of ingredients, hot or cold, conveniently wrapped in a (flavored or plain) flour tortilla.
