Brief Introduction

Well let's see...I have been thinking about starting a blog for quite some time.  Recently I decided that in the fall I was going to be staying with a good friend of mine in South Carolina for a few months.  We both love really good food and I plan on doing a lot cooking for her and our parties, etc.  So the more I thought about this - the more inclined I was to get started. 

So here goes...

I have been inspired recently by Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution jamieoliver.com and what it means to eat really fresh ingredients.  I have found that not only does the food look and taste better - you feel better eating it.  Whenever I serve these types of recipes to people, I always get rave reviews.  Also, I have been putting on the pounds lately and want to eat a healthier diet.  That being said - I think you can eat anything that is good in moderation.

So I am just going to post the recipes that I am making (well the good ones)...I might comment on the bad ones -but I definitely will not publish them.  I usually use a recipe as a base for an idea - but rarely completely stick to it.  I will make sure that if I use a published recipe - that I print and make note of the actual recipe (issued by the professional) and then my version of it and any comments that I might have.

I welcome all comments and suggestions...So welcome to my little corner of the web - Cafe' Americana!
