First Blog Post Ever: My life in food...

Seared Scallops atop Asparagus and Wild Mushroom Risotto

I find that my life memories tend to revolve around good food, wine, people and travel. People have been telling me for a few years now that I need to stop facebooking these yummy dishes, and experiences, and start blogging them to keep track of all the goodness. I have been very hesitant to dip my toe in the blogging waters but because I really want to remember all these recipes, and delicious moments, I have decided to give it a shot. 

To the left you will find two delicious dishes from the past few weeks. I want to highlight memorable home cooked meals as well as dishes from notable restaurants that leave me wanting more after the food is long gone. The scallop dish is comprised of two recipes that I came across while meandering through the grocery store. I often find a recipe online or in a book and make it with a few different twists. Eventually I start to make my own recipes on the fly and this is where I run in to issues remembering everything I have made... hence the need for the blog! For now these are the links to the two recipes I used for the scallop dish: Scallops and Risotto

Ouzo Cured Salmon at Kipos in Chapel Hill, NC

The salmon dish is an amazing ouzo cured salmon that we enjoyed with friends (yes you Lizzie and Ben) at Kipos in Chapel Hill, NC. Most of you reading this know I am a Tar Heel and any excuse to get to Chapel Hill is welcome. Anyway, this Greek restaurant is awesome...no really go there soon. Everything we had was like happiness in your mouth with complex yet clean flavors. It was actually after this delicious meal that I decided this blog must begin. 

So there you have it, my first blog post made with lots of love (and grammar mistakes I'm sure). If you see me and think I am slacking feel free to urge me to post again! 

XOXO Happy Eating!
