See what I did there? Two songs references in one. How do you like them apples?

If you follow my updates on , you might recall that I recently mentioned a big move. Well, I've actually had two big moves in the past six months (and boy, are my arms tired!). First, I moved from my beloved Pacific Northwest to North Carolina in November. Then, just a few weeks ago, I relocated again to the Cleveland area. Yep, that's right. Cleveland, Ohio. What's THAT all about?

Well, I used to live here. Betcha didn't know that about me, did ya? And now I've come back to Ohio...

I'd like to tell you it's because of my secret crush on Drew Carey but that's not actually true. Instead, I've come back to Ohio to take another go at a relationship that began on the sunny beaches of southern Florida over 11 years ago. It was a helluva leap and I'd do it again. In a heartbeat.


This blog has never been about my personal life and that's not going to change now. What IS changing, aside from my geographic location, is some of my content. One major benefit in making this move is that I can finally concentrate on my cookbook. What this means for the blog, primarily, is that I won't be posting three new recipes every week. I am committed to continue posting at least two or three times a week, but you're going to see more posts devoted to food education, nutrition, flavor combining, techniques and other topics people ask me about. You'll still see a new recipe from time to time - especially if I come up with something that is just too amazing to keep a secret. I'm pretty sure that'll happen on a regular basis.
