Welcome to The Edible Universe

Over the nearly 30 years I have been alive, food has been a huge part of my life. Well I guess food is a huge part of anyone’s life, but for me it took on something even more important. I love to cook, I love to experiment, I love to mess up and I love to create. All of this adds to the element and science... or inexact science of cooking. I have always tried to cook for my taste buds, but I found though my taste buds love it, my body and heart my not. But what I found was that my main problem with eating was I ate too much. It wasn’t that the food was bad for me necessarily; it was my portions were too large. With that being said I continued to cook for what my taste buds were calling for, all while keeping my portions down to one serving, rather then four.

Here at Edible Universe, my focus is going to be sharing my recipes that I have created over the years. Some of them are renditions of recipes that I have grown up with, learned from living abroad, or just plain whiped up from random items I had in the fridge.

Some days I will give examples of what you can do with a single item, while adding a bunch of random ingredients to make it a culinary wonder. Other days I will give step by step instructions of how I created an entire meal. Every once and a while I will be really bored and snap some pictures of the little snack I wiped up and talk about what it does for me, mentally and physically. Basically what it comes down to is if it involves food I will be discussing it.

As Edible Universe progresses I will delve into critiquing restaurants that I frequent or have gone for the first time. Something I am going to have to learn is to be more adventurous when I go out to eat. I am one of those people that will get the same thing whenever I go to a certain restaurant, because I know I like it and if I am going to pay for it I want to know I am going to enjoy it. Seems logical doesn’t it…..? No! I didn’t think so.

Please comment on anything your feedback will help Edible Universe grow. I came up with the name because our universe is constantly growing and the food universe is as well, so please comment (good and bad). Come back as many times or as few times. Everyone is welcome in the Edible Universe.
