My food philosophy is elementary: food should be a feast of all five senses. Preparing meals should be based on simple, tasty, and real recipes that are easy to follow—not intimidating. Instead of serving overly-processed products from the grocery shelves, I prefer to cook meals at home that are delicious and nutritious. I have no tolerance for bland food. My penchant is budget-friendly, flavor-packed menus that are focused on taste and international flare. Since I believe that flavor is the soul of food, I gravitate toward all cuisines that are BIG on flavors. We can all eat healthier and save money by skipping processed ingredients. For me, homemade is always best!
