about me

While losing weight and getting into shape, I've spent a lot of time modifying old recipes to be healthier, and developing a few of my own in the process. I've been cooking most of my life, and I can all of my own jams and pickles. I like to find cheap, low-quality cuts of meat and turn them into something gourmet.

I'm a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay, Alton Brown, and Mario Batali. I've been trying to learn about wines and pairings.

Favorite Foods:

A few staples I always have in the kitchen: chicken, salmon, quinoa, carrots, onion, lots of garlic, dried black beans, fresh corn on the cob, wine, more wine, balsamic vinegar, raspberries (fresh for summer and frozen in winter), cranberries or craisins, flaxseed cereal, whole grain flour, red potatoes, fresh parsley
