{ preface }

I would like to preface all of my recipes by saying that I am not a chef nor have any professional culinary schooling.  Given the opportunity I would certainly not pass up traditional culinary training in the burbs of Italy or France, but I cook purely for pleasure and to promote well-being.

… am incredibly passionate about what I do and cook to challenge the misconception that healthy food is bland and boring.

… keep whole grains + whole foods at the core of my cooking and enjoy combining unexpected ingredients that give each meal a healthy kick.

… am a huge advocate of local + organic ingredients of which I incorporate in each of my dishes.

… aim for this blog to enlighten you to create your own lifestyle based on this concept.
