We all have to start somewhere….

Published on in Blog

Thanks for spending time in my kitchen on this my first post. I have always had an interest in food ever since I started helping at a local pizza joint when I was 10 years old for a Coke and a slice of pizza.  That job turned into flipping pizzas through high school. I would have gone to culinary school, except for the more practical right side of my brain that said I should become a CPA so I could pay the rent.  I also became an owner of Yamashita Karate, a martial arts dojo in Murrieta, sharing responsibilities with my awesome partner Alex. I just love the martial arts because you can just let the crappy issues of the day go away for the short time while you are at the karate studio. As you can tell, I have been enjoying a fairly eclectic life.

All that being said, my interest in cooking has never been greater. I live in the beautiful wine country community of the Temecula Valley in Southern California which gives me some inspiration.  My  plans for this blog is to share my love for all types of food, sharing experiences and bringing to you recipes that fuel my love of cooking!

As always, thanks for Spending Time In My Kitchen!
