In this plate of food, I see the entire universe supporting my existence.
~ A Zen blessing
As a single mother of six children ranging in age from 24 to 15, time is at a premium. I decided long ago that shopping and cooking could be drudgery or they could be fun. I chose fun!
I’ve made a commitment to share my beliefs and inspirations about food. I find solace from the less kind things in life when I cook for my family. I meditate on future menus. I reseach recipes as if they are gospel. I lose myself in cookbooks and browse food blogs.
Join me on a journey to seek joy in the daily preparation of food to nourish and bring pleasure to those around me. Put on a little DMB, pour yourself a glass of wine. Come cook with me and experience Zen cooking!
This is Molly, Andyy, and Austin (numbers 5, 4 and 1)
This is Elliot (number 3)
This is Donovan (number 6)
and last but not least
This is Olivia (number 2) holding her number 1!
And this is a not at all current picture of me doing what I love – cooking for my family in my outdoor kitchen.

We are! Love your blog 🙂 I love having an outdoor kitchen – in Florida using the oven defeats the work the air conditioning accomplishes!
