Okay, I’ve been holding out on you.  I cook from scratch for my family every day and I am constantly trying new recipes to entertain myself and satisfy my foodie need for excitement since there is not much where I live.  You’ll see a variety of recipes here based on what is growing locally and what is in season.  Everything I’m cooking these days is simple (since I have two young children and not a lot of time), mostly healthful, and mainly comfort type food.  I use organic or non-sprayed local ingredients and I try to stay away from foods genetically modified, hormone or steroid injected, and anything packaged with preservatives.

Cooking and food in general has always been huge part of my life.  I grew up with a dad in the restaurant business and I continue to learn from my favorite uncle who is a baker and cooking instructor in San Francisco.  As a television producer, I produced food, restaurant and cooking segments for NBC4, CBS2 and KCAL-TV in Los Angeles.  Food is not only my hobby, it is my obsession!  I hope you enjoy the recipes that I make up or find on the internet (some adjusted to suit my own taste).  Sharpen your knives and pull out your pots and pans because here they come…
