I decided a good way to start this blog would be to tell you a bit about my approaches and thoughts toward food.
I continue to be excited about organics for a few reasons. Small farms tend to have more biodiversity within their fences than the corn giants. This biodiversity feeds the soil from which our food grows creating a more stable and strong source of nutrients. Organic ingredients are certified to be 100% natural and free of harmful chemicals and pestcides often found in conventionally grown foods. I always use organic ingredients when they are available to me. I'll definately be talking more about organic agriculture in the near furture. Stay tuned!
For me, the keys to great food preparation are simple and bold flavor combinations and the best ingredients you can find. Finding great ingredients should start as close to home as possible.Most likely you'll find a neighbor with a garden or chickens. These ingredients are truly the best in my book. When these heavenly goods aren't available I take into account a few important factors. Is it in season? is it organic? is it a reputable grower? A domestic product? how did it get here?
Lets leave it at that.
simple ingredients
grown harmoniously
cooked correctly.
nothing crazy here.
Up next .. a little history and mushroom hunting on both coasts.

Dear Uncle Steven, What does "Toques Batches and Hoes" mean? Did you know that we have joined a CSA this year? I don't really know what it means, but Mommy says that we'll be doing a little farming and getting lots of organic veggies this year! I love me my veggies. I've linked you on my blog! :-)
