There's already a lot of popular foodie blogs out there. I don't read most of them and don't necessarily agree with the thinking behind most of them. I also realize that if I were to take writing a food blog seriously, you'd all probably just accuse me of being a blatant rip off of Alton Brown.

I love cornbread. Absolutely love it. My mother, back in the day, would make cornbread and then my brother and I would take turns devouring it...

Herbed Roast Stuffed Chicken 2009-06-21 08:29PM

Notice how much cheaper per pound a whole chicken is compared to chicken pieces? Well, it's not that hard to roast one up and enjoy it all week!

Some numbers on food 2009-06-14 05:09PM

I noticed just how much time and space on the checkout line my veggies and fruits were taking up and how compact and tiny the meat I was purchasing for the week was. So I decided to put some numbers to it...
