Welcome to my blog…hope you’re hungry!
It all begins with fresh food
WELCOME! DO YOU LOVE FOOD? AS IN, REALLY LOVE IT? DO YOU WAKE UP THINKING ABOUT YOUR MEALS FOR THE DAY? WELL, I DO. I'VE HAD A LOVE AFFAIR WITH FOOD SINCE I WAS A YOUNG GIRL. SO, AFTER MANY YEARS OF COOKING ON A PERSONAL LEVEL, I WENT TO CULINARY SCHOOL AND BECAME A CHEF AT 40 YEARS OLD. BUT THAT'S THE SAME AGE THAT JULIA CHILD STARTED HER CULINARY CAREER. I'VE ALWAYS FELT COMFORTED BY THAT FACT.
SO, WHAT'S MY BLOG ABOUT? IT'S ABOUT FOOD, COOKING, THE KITCHEN, SHOPPING FOR FOOD, AND SOME BITS AND PIECES OF NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION, SO YOU MIGHT BE INSPIRED TO EAT A LITTLE HEALTHIER ALONG THE WAY. I WANT TO SHARE MY STORIES ABOUT MY FAVORITE FOOD MEMORIES, DISASTERS IN THE KITCHEN (YES, THEY HAPPEN, EVEN TO THE BEST OF US), AND OF COURSE, RECIPES.
ONE OF MY FIRST FOOD MEMORIES IS AROUND A PERFECT PIECE OF CHOCOLATE CAKE AND ICE-COLD MILK. I WAS PROBABLY AROUND 10 OR 12 YEARS OLD; MY SIBLINGS AND I WOULD GO ALONG WITH MY MOM, WHO USED TO GO GROCERY SHOPPING FOR HER GREAT-AUNT (WHO WAS MY GREAT-GREAT AUNT). SHE LIVED IN A VERY SIMPLE AND SMALL HOUSE WITH ONLY PARTIAL ELECTRICITY (THIS WAS EARLY 1970's AND IT HADN'T BEEN FULLY UPDATED). HER KITCHEN WAS SMALL, AND I REMEMBER A BASIC STOVE/OVEN COMBINATION ALONG WITH ONE OF THOSE CLASSIC ROUNDED-TOP REFRIGERATORS. WE WENT TO VISIT HER ONE DAY, AND SHE MADE THE PERFECT DOUBLE-LAYER CHOCOLATE CAKE WITH CHOCOLATE FROSTING. SHE SERVED IT TO US WITH AN ICE-COLD GLASS OF MILK, WHICH WAS DELIVERED BY AN OLD-FASHIONED MILKMAN. TO THIS DAY, I CAN STILL TASTE THAT CAKE IN MY MIND, AND I'VE NEVER HAD ONE LIKE IT. IT WAS PERFECTLY MOIST, AND THE MILK WAS ICE COLD. AS A CHEF, I THINK BACK TO THE HOW. HOW DID SHE MAKE SUCH A GREAT CAKE WITH SO LITTLE TO WORK WITH. SHE DIDN'T HAVE A KITCHENAID LIKE MOST OF US DO, NOR A FANCY CONVECTION OVEN.
THAT PIECE OF CAKE HAS INSPIRED ME MANY TIMES OVER. FOOD DOESN'T HAVE TO BE FANCY TO BE MEMORABLE. IF YOU COOK WITH LOVE AND CARE, IT WILL SHOW.
TILL NEXT TIME FRIENDS,
JODI

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
