A Much Needed Update

Wow, it has been quite some time since I have updated this blog. I swear I have a few good excuses. :lol: But instead of hearing all of my excuses, I will post up one of the many recipes I have been playing with over the past few months.

I have a lot of exciting things happening right now. One, being that I am being featured on ifood.tv.com and will be vlogging more often. Somedays it might be boring, but I hope that I will be able to show the viewers how I create some of my meals, or what a day in my kitchen is like. 

I will also be launching my cookbook website later this... read more 1 comments
