Living this adventure called life through food and travel with my friends and family. Mostly I write about food, but you may come across some subtle opinions on the way! https://www.facebook.com/memyselfandcuisine/
Sushi is a food that I never grow tired of, though that wasn’t always the case. The first time I had it, I hated it. Maybe that’s because it was in the Rocky Mountains, nowhere near a water source. You need water to have fresh fish and you need fresh fish to make good sushi. […]
I hope everyone had a great Halloween. Now it is time to start looking forward to Thanksgiving! I know Thanksgiving is going to be weird this year, but that doesn’t mean that we can’t still create some amazing recipes to enjoy with our small groups that will hopefully still be able to gather.

Fajitas are one of my favorite things to cook. They can be incredibly versatile too. You can turn it in to a salad or even nachos. There are also a lot of options for how you make your fajitas, not just chicken or beef with some peppers. The classic fajitas are always going to be […]
Italian Food is one of those food genres that is hearty and versatile and covers a wide range of dishes. From fresh pastas to soups and then on to pizzas before heading over to seafood, Italian food covers it all. This might be an Americanized version of Italian food, but I’m going to let slide. […]

Don’t forget your cake for dessert! This looks like something my grandmother would have made. She was almost famous for cooking. Those apricots in the […]
Sandwiches are the most versatile food out there. You can stack almost anything between two pieces of bread and make something incredible. I actually saw a sandwich the other day made out of French toast. The possibilities are endless. There are people who have launched entire careers based off of the sandwich. And let’s not […]
