Welcome to SIDEBOARD -- my personal foodie/cooking/life experience.  I would like to let everyone know I am not a professional chef nor am I a food stylist or any other such lovely thing.  I am a mom, a working mom with a busy life and a teenager who is a foodie as well.  So together we decided to put things down in hopes, when I can't remember and she needs a recipe, there will be a place we can both come to find out how we made something or another.  

Cooking isn't for the timid, I believe anyone who has patience can learn to cook and do it very well.  Food doesn't have to have a dozen or more ingredients in it to be FAB-U-LOUS.  It only takes practice and knowing your equipment and a little basic science. Just look at the fantastic Gordon Ramsey, all of the chefs who come to work for him get their first interview making scrambled eggs -- and if they can't do that one simple dish... There's the door.  And his favorite food, well that would be his mom's Mac and Cheese.  

We all have a love of our mom's cooking and I am right there alongside the rest of you.  My mother is a fantastic cook and that is why I love to cook myself.  Food brings family and friends and even strangers together.  We all enjoy sharing a meal, even if it is "just" scrambled eggs.  

Step up to the SIDEBOARD; grab your silverware and a plate and let’s DIG IN shall we.
