Food Buzz Challenge #1

Why my foodilicious blog Innovative Gourmet should be #1?

To wholeheartedly desire the number one spot is easy but to humbly beseech through words that i.gourmet should be number one, is quite another thing. Thank you for the opportunity to try!

The food we create, the creations we devour and the lessons we learn as a family through this foodie adventure is priceless. As a former cafe owner and a person dedicated to GOOD food since I started learning to cook over 33 years ago, my goal from the beginning has been to share my love of food with each and every person who read my blogs or comes to our home to learn how to make delicious food.

As I provide meals for my own family and many friends I also have the opportunity to feed my elderly grandparents, three times each day, this is my greatest challenge... to give them nutritious food that manages her diabetes and satisfies his palate. In all of this daily culinary activity my utmost purpose in life combines my love of community and my adoration of the culinary arts, thus blogging has been the catalyst to see this dream realized on a larger scale.

I have tended a beautifully bohemian kitchen garden for nearly ten years. This is where my inspiration stems from, it's inaugural year taught my then small children to love beets sauteed in butter and dill, my sweet husband that grazing on fresh herbs is a good idea and my mother that there are no better blueberries than the ones you grow yourself. As the years have passed and I have developed the gardens, our palates and my culinary skills, food has become my greatest passion, blogging simply lets me share it. It all began as an easier way to share recipes with friends so we would not need to scratch out instructions while talking on the phone, doing laundry and herding children. I would post recipes and provide a PDF download for them to print when it was convenient. This was an instant hit. As I became more excited about the benefits of blogging, my aspirations for all things creative flourished especially foodie fun, how to reach my community and take the photographs that would inspire people to try my recipes. Here is a video moment of my daily life...



Happy Eating...Thank You Food Buzz!!
