I wanted a food blog. I wanted a place where I can showcase my creativity (mainly for myself, but for others too if they stumble upon it). I have been in a food rut lately and I don't want to continue making the same dishes over and over again. I'm hoping that this blog will give me reason to ignite my creative culinary flames with pictures of what I make and the recipe I used. If I stick to my commitment and I post enough, maybe I can also use this as a place to get inspiration for new dishes or spark my appetite for old favorites. We shall see. </span>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0
