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.

Oven Baked Rosemary Potato Chips

Another 'Dinner for One' night last (Wednesday)evening.  After making macaroni salad and beans to send to a dinner my husband was attending, I wanted a simple sandwich for dinner.  I needed to ramp up a simple tomato and cheese sandwich so dinner wouldn't feel mundane!  Remaining health conscious, yet wanting something crunchy, I tried these oven chips I had cut from a magazine-sorry, not sure which one.  These were so easy and honestly, were the closest thing to a deep fried chip I have ever had!  Quick, easy, inexpensive, a healthy snack and barely no clean up.....more than a food trifecta!
