A little Who's Who
& Some What's What
Hello out there in the inter-webs! I'm Heady, or at least that's what my friends call me, and I have created this blog to share my passion for cooking with you all! Just to let you know a little about me... I live in Southwest Louisiana with my boyfriend, Ryan, and four cats (I know--FOUR!?). Together we run a business selling prepared food once a week at our local farmer's market. My mother and I started the gig a few years ago and she still helps us out. In addition to Garden Path Groceries, our booth at the market, I now sell lunch once weekly at a kiosk we call the Snack Shack in a local hospital. Being able to support myself by serving up food that I create is like a dream. Between those two gigs and just feeding the bf, myself, and often our friends I'm in the kitchen a lot.
Cooking has interested me since I was barely big enough to climb the kitchen stool to help stir for my mom. My parents owned a catering business and a few restaurants when I was younger which expanded my experience and interest in food. Most of what I know in the kitchen I owe to my mother, but at 27 years old I have taught myself a thing or two as well. Tasting new things and trying new techniques or ingredients are a huge part of what makes life worth living for me. That being said, some of my favorite meals to eat or cook are simple southern ones and are like second nature to me. I intend to post about triumphs of cuisine, recipes I made up or tried my hand at, interesting stuff I know or learn about food stuffs, some personal cooking anecdotes, and plenty of mouth watering food photos. Come back and see me, y'all!
