Blooming foodie

There is certainly some blooming going on around here. Praise the Lord, I see this every year and He never ceases to amaze me.





As for the foodie, this is a term I have only recently been introduced to. "A person keenly interested in food." Of course then I looked up "keenly" to find "intense, eager, enthusiastic".

Who thinks this post will be about Aden?? Come on, be honest.

Yes, Aden is a foodie. Self-admitted, if he could talk. That boy loves food and he is definitely not ashamed of it.

No, not about Aden. More about my growing obsession interest in the preparation of foods. Especially combinations new to me. Especially good food.

My new recipes for 2011 are just the foundation. Whenever my free moments happen to coincide with one of my Food Network/Cooking Channel faves (Giada, Rachael, or "Cupcake Wars"), I love to catch a segment. I love cooking but don't get a ton of time to do so, and so living vicariously through TV chefs has been a good substitute.

Just the other day, I found a new toy. Picky Palate. The things this woman does are just amazing. Not healthy, not by a long shot. But oh.


These will be made. Oh yes. And very soon.

Seems a lot of the recipes on my rapidly expanding try list are no-nos around here, with all our dietary restrictions. Oh well. Foodie-ness can be a hobby then.

This from the girl who spent about five years in early childhood eating nothing but Kraft macaroni and cheese. Hey, getting older is not all bad.

Yum, those do look delicious. Can't wait to hear more about your foodie hobby in your coming blogs. It seems I too have become more interested in foods as I grow older...maybe its a mom thing?
