Let's talk about food.

Let's talk about food baby. Let's talk about meat and cheese. Let's talk about all the good foods and all the bad foods that may be.

Seriously though. Can we talk about how important food is??? Food is 80% of my life.

If you are like me, finding food inspiration can be difficult. That is why I created this blog. To help all of us food lovers find new and exciting recipes. I typically have 10 meals that I make on a regular basis. Anything outside of that requires a TON of thought and planning. I'm hoping to eliminate part of that process with this blog.

This blog is meant to bring people and food together. Friends and family should share their food experiments. Successes and failures should be shared! Tell me what worked. Tell me what didn't. Tell ME ABOUT YOUR FOOD.

Food is love. Sharing food with the people you love is so important. Food can bring you happiness.

You all have been tasked with learning to branch out and reward yourself with amazing food. Health nuts are welcome, but so are the sugar & fat loving fanatics.

Please let me know what you have created in your kitchen and share the love!

Rib Eye, butternut squash, bruschetta dinner.

Our dinner was better than yours.

Really. It was.

First, let's talk about the Pittsburgh rib eye. AMAZING! Seasoned heavily with salt and pepper. Pittsburgh is not for the wary; you want to char the steak while keeping the inside medium rare - medium.

Next, butternut squash. Chopped butternut squash (found at Sprouts) tossed in olive oil, garlic salt, pepper, and cinnamon. No measurements here. Everything depends on what YOU like. Preheat the oven to 425. Place seasoned squash onto cookie sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes.

On to the next one; bruschetta. Take one whole grain baguette and cut it into 1 inch slices. You will want to brush baguette slices with olive oil.  After the slices have been slathered in olive oil, place the basil leaves, mozzarella, and roma tomatoes (in that order) onto the bread. Place into the oven you previously preheated for 5 minutes.

Finally, don't forget to purchase some cheap but wonderfully delicious wine. Today we bought some amazing Malbec and Cabernet Sauvignon. Both were roughly $10 at Sprouts and tasted way better than your usual $10 wine.

This dinner was probably a 8 out of 10. It would have been better with some corn ;). Now kiddos, don't forget to respect your dinner with an amazing dessert.
