Bologna to Bolognese: Adventures With Food

Food is necessary. Food is fun. Food is an adventure!

My name is Shannon and this is my adventure, my love affair with food.

I hope you'll come along for the ride.

New Beginnings

New beginnings should always start with introductions. I have been traveling for as long as I can remember. With those travels came new sights, new cultures and new foods. Lobster Rolls in Maine, Fajitas in Texas, Clam Chowder in Massachusetts. The end result? When other kids would only eat PB&J I was munching Buffalo Burgers and Alligator Bites.

I'm not a chef but I'm a dammed good home cook with a sense of adventure and I'm not afraid to try new things. Can I whip up a Soufflé or a Baked Alaska? Not a chance, but to be fair, I have never tried. I think the biggest things I've learned is that fear is your enemy, recipes are guides and tasting EVERYTHING is important. After that...just have fun. So enough of my blathering it's almost time for lunch!
