About me

        I am just an average guy, no different than anyone who may read this. I have a wonderful wife, 4 children, and have a small home in the suburbs. Professionally, I have been a car mechanic almost all of my adult life. It is a profession that requires hard work, long hours, a world of knowledge, and a passion for cars. It is the passion, that lead me to cooking as a hobby.

    Every man is born with a natural desire to build something,  be it a hot rod, a house, a model airplane, or whatever he dreamed of as a kid. My passion was obviosly cars, and several times in my life I tried to build a cooler, faster, sexier car. The problem is building such a car is very time consuming, and VERY expensive. Hense, every time, I abandoned my project car. Thankfully I was aware enough to see the burden it put on my family.

    I remember the day I decided to start toying with cooking as a hobby. We were making spaghetti for dinner, store bought noodles, and sauce in a can. I don't know why, but I opened "Mom ans Dad's" cupboard,  grabbed a bottle of amarretto, and poured some in the sauce. At the time, it was great, we all ate dinner and talked about what we could do differnt next time.

    Now, 15 years later, cooking is still my hobby. Though not as cheap as it used to be, it still brings good times to my family and friends. I now have friends and acquaintances asking me to cook for thier parties, wich I do just for the pleasure of it.

   So, now I am going to start sharing some of the recipes I have developed over the years. Hopefully you and your family will enjoy. If you do enjoy, you should also visit my aunt Cynthia's blog, www.iamthereforeibake.com. She is a professional chef, makes amazing food, and has been the one to push and inspire me to do this.

 First recipe next weekend!!!
