About me
I love to eat. I love to eat appetizers. And I love to make them for parties. If every meal could be made up of appetizers, I'd be a happy camper. Speaking of happy..
I have a great hubby and a fantastic kiddo... We're a small family but make up for it by doing big things when time allows. Sometimes that big thing is watching a movie on Friday night and making a BIG bowl of popcorn. Sometimes, it's vacationing in Italy.
Anyway, it's great to be a part of this cooking community and share with you all my appetizer ideas. You can also check out my two cooking sites - always being revised - Easy Appetizer Recipes (http://www.easy-appetizer-recipes.com) and Soup Hoopla! (http://www.souphoopla.com). Enjoy!
Cooking Influences
Cher - in the movie "Mermaids". She played a single mom who made her girls meals of appetizers. LOL!
No, really... my Dad was a wonderful cook. In fact, it was his passion. I learned so much from him. He made his living in various aspects of food service, but at home, he was a Master Chef. I grew up on things like Beef Wellington and homemade chocolate cake with warm vanilla sauce dripped over it. Don't get me started... I could go on and on...
