I love to cook, and I'm willing to experiment with just about anything in the kitchen. It's all about learning as we eat in our house: Learning to like new flavors or textures. Learning the time-saving value of a new tool. Learning the miracle of a new cooking technique.

Learning as I eat has also taught me quite a bit about myself, and the passion that has arisen from my self-discovery, both in the kitchen and in my life, gets regularly displayed on a food blog I have written for the past eight years. It's ad-free, I won't ask you for your email in order to bombard you with newsletters you won't read (although you can subscribe to get any posts delivered to your email inbox), and it's real. If I screw up, I write about it. It's all part of the learning process, right?

Head on over to Creating a Foodie to read more about my kitchen experiences, restaurant excursions, thoughts on food life, and tips and recommendations for anything food-related. I hope you enjoy perusing it, because I enjoy writing it.
