For the Love of Food

I absolutely love food! Like seriously I had weight loss surgery because I LOVE FOOD!! I love trying new recipes and trying different things at restaurants. I can literally leave any of the different food channels on all day. I am no food expert I haven’t taken any kind of food/ cooking classes I am just me trying new things. 


When I was a kid my dad loved to cook. My parents would throw huge parties. We would have our annual Summer Round-Up and a Christmas Party. These parties would have 100+ people coming and my dad would cook everything….yes my dad made all the food. He loved trying new recipes and sharing them with all the friends and family that would come to these parties. Now for me I took up baking first. Dad had the cooking in the house so I decided I would try my hand at baking. I would say I was 15 we where in Monterey, California. We had gone to the aquarium and then headed to the outlet stores. There was a kitchen store there we would always have to go to. This time I found a Wilton magazine and I was looking through it and thought cake decorating would be fun. So I showed my dad and I told him I wanted to try. He bought me the magazine, a cake pan and a beginner set of piping tips with bags. The deal was he would buy it but I had to actually try to do it. I tried and fell in love my first was just a plain layered cake with some piping on it. Then I made Winnie the Pooh. 


Now jump to 18 I had gone to a few Pampered Chef Parties and well I thought I knew enough with Kitchen stuff that i could sell it. I joined Pampered Chef and realized I was in the Cooking department and not the baking department! I might have tried for 1 year and gave it up. Fast forward a bit I am now married with a baby on the way we are already eating better and not going out as much. Cooking more at home saving money and trying new recipes. I now not only bake and have definitely improved my decorating skills. But I am now really getting into cooking. Baby #1 arrives in May and by August I decided I was ready to try Pampered Chef again. I now know what all those different things are used for and thinking this is a good way to make some extra income and hopefully get to the point I can stay at home and raise my own kid.

Four years later I am still at it. I love these products I’m not rich from it by any means but I do love what I do with it and I’m not trying to give it up any time soon. I just want to share it with all of you fabulous people. Seriously these products are awesome. I will be sharing products and recipes here. You can check out my website and order or let me know if you have any questions.
