Welcome Friends!

This blog was just begging to be created....a melding of two of the loves of my life:  fashion, and food.  I crave a place to discuss with my fellow foodies and fashionistas my passion for these two of life's necessities. 

Fashion, as an all-time true love of mine, goes without saying.  I have been enamored with fashion for some time, even before I realized the true meaning of that love to the functioning of my day-to-day life.  Now, we are inseparable....my obsession with taking the trends of the world into my own hands and embarking down the runway of life controls my soul.  I also have a jewelry design blog where I showcase my designs and passion for trends, which is titled Frugalicious Style

But beyond fashion, the one deep, true love of my life is food.  Ever since I was a young child (known to my parents as a "Clean Plater")  I have always tried different foods and for the most part, loved them.   Just as I am obsessed with the creative aspect of fashion, I love the art of cooking and strive always to embellish any recipe I may attempt with my own flair.  I almost never 'just cook' something exactly how you are "supposed" to cook it...I need to put my own spin on everything, even if it is only in a small way.  This allows me to use my creativity to influence the foods I encounter each day.  Food is the epitome of a mood-maker....a delicious meal and the place where it was eaten can stick with you long after the meal has been digested.  When looking back on important celebrations and holidays in our lives, is it not the food that defines the experience?  Coming from a long line of "good down-home country cookin'," I have become obsessed with two things:  butter, and more butter.  If you do not like, or use, butter in your cooking, I am sorry, because nothing can ever taste as good as when you proceed to add butter to the dish...and usually, lots of it.  In no way is this blog for the "faint of diet".  If you are looking for a blog about counting calories and eating strictly salads each day, you have come to the wrong web address.  I by no means am against a healthy diet, and I do attempt to eat "healthily" but that does not mean that I am going to completely cut out all foods that I enjoy.

With that in mind, I intend to showcase foods that I create as well as unique restaurants I have attended, and other foods that I have eaten that may have been created by others (friends, family, etc).  If I eat it, and I enjoy it, it can end up here!  I also plan to debut outfits that I wear....I really have no where to share some outfits that I come up with, and it will be fun to have a place to show off some creative outfits I have made.

I look forward to sharing these things with you!
