Why I Blog About Food

I just love comida ok! I love food, and everything that comes with it.

I love donuts filled with heavy cream, topped with gooey chocolate, and thin crust pizza loaded with basil and doughy crust you can dip into rich olive oil. I want to eat good food in beautiful places; to sit on patios sipping cold drinks, while string lights twinkle overhead and munch on greasy seafood in the warm sun with the sound of ocean waves crashing on the shore.

I ache for new cities to see and countries to travel to, to soak up all the sights and drink in the smell of new places. I want to learn about different cultures through the taste of their favorite dishes; to wander through local farmers markets finding the freshest ingredients, and get to know people by the flavors of their most loved meals.

I also want to eat home cooked meals from the ones I love: meatballs rolled by my grandmother’s hands, a recipe which has been passed down throughout the years. Gooey caramels my aunts make from scratch each Christmas season. Spicy taco dip with crispy tortilla chips eaten around the fire on warm summer nights with old family friends.

I can’t help it, I love food, and everything that comes with it; the stories shared around the table, washing dishes that are already licked clean, the laughs over spilt wine, dancing around the kitchen and the new people you meet across the bar. I love the way food brings us together, that it's a common language between us all.

That’s why I blog about food.
