Television Feasts

I am a home cook who backyard gardens and has a serious closet addiction to the Food Network. I envision visiting the world in my own kitchen.

From Julia to Giada, I am a bi-product of the quirky world of anything food television. At age 10 I wanted to lunch with Julia; at 12 I thought sitting at Graham Kerr's table would be bliss; in college I was a diligent voyeur student of Jeff Smith's; and as a newlywed I envisioned myself being Martha. Then the sky opened up and violin music played in the background when I discovered an entire family of food shows on the blossoming food network. Twenty years later I am still a home chef with a backyard garden, yet in my head I am a trained chef who has eaten her way around the world, tasted all things exotic, competed in many challenges, judged the best of the best, and have a circle of friends which includes Emeril, Bobby, Rachael and more. I like to learn and challenge myself simply for the pleasure of all things food. I am a student of the University of Food Network and my textbooks, exams and extra-curricular activities all stem from channel 39.

Basil, Tomato Grilled Cheese

No recipe tonight.  Just a look in the fridge, try to pull it together and hope it is somewhat healthy kinda night.  BUT, I stuck with the challenge by not repeating anything I had mad yet in 2014!  I grilled some great Italian bread with fresh pesto, garden tomatoes and cheddar cheese.  Fabulous combination.  I had pickled some beets last night, and used that as a side.  Quick, definitely economical and very tasty!  Yup, not only did I pull off a food trifecta, but I did it not knowing what the heck I would pull together, and got it plated within 15 minutes!  Sorry no pictures, or no recipe.  :) BUT a challenge success nonetheless.
