About My Food

I often get asked “What kind of food do you make?”  My answer:  I make SCRAPEWORTHY (and lickworthy) food.

A big eating philosophy of mine is to cut portion instead of cutting fat.  With that said, you will not find things like fat free brownies on my blog (though I don’t think fat free brownies are even possible).  This doesn’t mean I don’t have light and low fat dishes on my blog, what I mean is I have a “go big or go home” philosophy with food.  Small amounts of REALLY delicious food satisfy WAY more than an entire platter of bad skimpy food.

How do I come up with my recipes?  Every couple of days I stroll through the aisles of the grocery store and pick out things that fall under one or more of the following categories:
1.  Are on sale
2  Look really good (ie. in-season produce)
3. Just look really fun to play with (ie. Blue Cornmeal, Cacao Nibs, Glass Noodles)

The goodies that are lucky enough to come home with me get paired with other ingredients, sometimes with the help of my Flavor Bible.  Magic!
