Well, here we go...

So, I honestly have no idea how to blog. I will begin by giving an explanation of how this idea came to be. I was in Savannah this past weekend on a girl’s trip. While telling a friend of mine that I truly felt like I have missed my calling in life (at the age of 28) and that I was meant to be a food critic, she sparked my imagination. I love to cook and eat and I have always said that food should be an experience. Growing up in a traditional southern family, I cannot remember a family member that wasn’t surrounded by food and faith around a kitchen table. I have carried my grandmother’s love of cooking along with me in life and it is a part of her I will never lose, even when she is gone. As I am describing all of this to my friend (Megan) she looks as me and simply says “so blog about it.” I looked at her as if she was speaking in tongues and she smiled and said “That is how a lot of people get started. There are tons of blogs about food, recipes etc.” While I know what blogging is, it isn’t something I have ever been very interested in doing. Well, at least not until Pinterest came along and I realized that blogs are 90% of the posts that generate there, and that I can do most all of the things these others post about. Anyways, after Megan made this suggestion I begin to think about it a lot, and decided that it couldn’t hurt. This blog would give me a creative outlet that was just for me. Of course I will still mention my husband, son and job because they are so much a part of my life that leaving them out would not accurately depict me. My purpose here may vary from day to day as I am a talker (writer in this respect) and may not always have a recipe to share but rather a thought. I plan to critique locally owned restaurants as well as provide recipes that I love along with how they affect my life and my faith. I hope that anyone who stops by enjoys what they read and learn and if not, I know that I will.
