I eat therefore I am!

I am a lover of food. My sisters and I know that this wonderful trait was passed down to us from our mother. When we go on trips we plan our vacation around places we want to eat at. We love to eat. We go to Snowbird, Utah every other Thanksgiving and spend many lunches and dinners at Cafe Rio. We also love Olive Garden, Pei Wei (cheaper version of P.F. Chang's), Jamba Juice, and Panera. When you go grow up in a little town you tend to enjoy the finer things in life. Just looking at this picture of lettuce wraps makes my mouth water.

As a consequence of loving to eat, I also love to cook. I love to cook because I want to eat good food. When I say good I don't necessarily mean "healthy", what I mean is yummy. My mom gets in these moods sometimes where she will start trying all kinds of new recipes. I'm more of the type that finds a recipe that sounds good and then I store it away for a few years, never get around to trying it and throw it away. But because I live by her I get to try out all of her new recipes. A lot of us brag about how she is such a good cook but she modestly shrugs it off by saying,"A good cook just has a lot of good recipes." Funny that most of my recipes come from her! In conclusion I am going to start posting some of my favorite recipes for others to try. I am also going to start trying out new ones. I'll let you know when I find a good one!
