Welcome To My Grand Experiment

I am a nerd, a food nerd, a big one.  I go out of my way to make everything from scratch.  What do I mean by everything?  I have been known to grind my own flours and meats,  I make my own sausage, and have even cured a pork loin so I can enjoy fresh ham.  

I don't however have a garden, own chickens, or raise pigs or cattle (I am pretty sure my apartment manager wouldn't like me very much if I did).  

I cook in a way I enjoy for my families and loved ones, and I don't expect anyone else too.  However, I will share my stories and recipes for those of you that might. 

I went to culinary school and worked in several restaurants (okay 3, but I was there for at least 3 years each) before becoming a stay at home mom.  Oh, how I miss it though.  I miss giving tips or showing others easier ways to do things. I miss talking food and answering cooking questions.  I have a wealth of knowledge and nowhere to channel it.  Until now.  

So hit me with questions, stories, or even a family recipe you would like to "nerd down", email me at confessionsofafoodnerd@gmail.com and I will see what I can do.

Until next time, thank you for visiting.
