In the beginning of my blogging adventure!

My first blog ever, and I want this to be the start of something good for my children and friends. When cooking main dishes, remember that you can add or subtract ingredients as you like from the recipe. Experiment, get your hands in there, let your senses work by smelling and tasting ingredients before you add them to your dish. I call this flavor memory that you can use to decide if you want to add these things to your dish or not. Once in, it won't be extracted from the dish easily if at all. Use fresh ingredients when possible to get the greatest nutrition from what you eat. In this blog I hope to add tips for growing small gardens like I have on my deck. Growing your own herbs is easy with the right knowledge. Travel tips on staying well and making the best of your experience in food and local flavors. Also, yummy RV meals that are easy, and require little prep time. Wine is our passion! As well as good food. They need to match in a way that the food compliments the wine, and the wine does the same for the food. It also seems like it would be good to add tips for ease of prepping, finding the best ingredients, what to look for to gain maximum nutrition, and other tips that can add to the culinary, wine, and travel experience. So here's to a beginning of something new, exciting, and fresh. I hope family and friends, that you will enjoy seeing what we are doing, whether it's at home or with our travels. Here's to good food, good wine, and good health!
