Welcome to our blog

A couple years ago my partner Josh and I decided to take a serious look at how we eat.  We were the typical family.  Our cooking consisted of opening cans and boxes, jars of prepared sauces, frozen vegetables with sauce included and just-add-chicken frozen meals. We would then sit down in front of the TV and mindlessly eat what Kraft had made for dinner. We gained upwards of 50lbs, felt tired and lethargic most of the time and were ill on a regular basis. This was no way to live life so a change was in order.

Both of us already enjoyed cooking, so it was fairly easy to start the process of preparing food ourselves and it soon became our passion.  We started experimenting with all sorts of foods. Our theory being that if we can make it from scratch, then we will at least try it once.  We always try to find authentic recipes, like the ones that your grandma used to make.  We are especially interested in ethnic cooking, which can sometimes be a challenge to find authentic recipes of since those are generally passed down in the family.  

  

We have had many successes and even more failures which we are happy to share. Our goal is to make cooking accessible to anyone, and that even with no professional training, anyone can make a great meal in their own kitchen.  We will share what has worked for us and what hasn't, kitchen fundamentals, equipment in the kitchen, recipes, gardening, and about our many adventures in the kitchen.  

Hope you enjoy the postings.  Again, if there is something that you would like covered, we are always open to suggestions.  Please help us to spread the word.  Click the Follow button to become a follower of the blog.  Click the share button for Facebook, and Twitter, for both the blog, and the posts.  Thanks for visiting!
