Recipes don't just create food, they create memories.
When you eat food, or create food, you are making memories that will stay with you forever. Memories that will come back each and every time you eat.
Whenever I eat anything with nutella, I think of Germany and my German class trip. On that trip we ate nutella every day on delicious German bread.
Whenever I eat a McDonald's vanilla ice-cream cone, I think of my mother and my sister. When I was little, we would grab an ice cream cone then drive out in the cornfields to eat ice cream and sing and laugh. Our favorite song was "Oh, What a Beautiful Morning" from the Oklahoma musical.
Whenever I eat gingerbread cookies, I think of coming home in the winter after school. My fifth grade year, my mom often had cookies waiting for us as our after-school snack.
These are only a few of the many examples I could use to emphasize the point that food is not just food. Food is vital to our survival, brings people together, and allows you to be as creative as you want. There is something special about home cooking, and eating as a family around the dinner table. For me, food reminds me of good times I've had, and the family and friends in my life.
This blog is dedicated to those memories.
