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 nine years. It's ad-free, I won't ask you for your email in order to bombard you with newsletters you won't read, 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.
