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.

Weekend for One

I was on my own Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  It was a weekend of salads, an omelet, and things tucked in my freezer from meals past. I don't have any real recipes to share.  Without a doubt it was a weekend of throw together meals simply to get myself through the weekend without limiting myself to chocolate and ice cream!
I did however have one highlight on the cooking scene....an experience I can say I have not done in 2014.....I heated up some tortellini, opened a jar of sauce, and microwaved some peas and carrots for the best dinner date a Grammie could ask for!
