Food Creations
Creating good food is my passion. Whether I’m eating it or cooking it, I enjoy the pleasure of indulging in it, crafting it, designing it, shaping it and moulding it into a tantalizing dish or sight that no one can resist. I enjoy immersing myself in the pleasurable activity of designing my cakes, using deft and skilled movements with my handy tool- my scissors. For me, the scissors is a powerful and useful device, following right behind the invention of sliced bread. Who knows, maybe the idea of sliced bread had its origins with a pair of scissors.

Food is Life
I am one of those people that felt like they grew up in the kitchen. Whether I was at home or with one of my grandmothers the kitchen always seemed to be the hub of our home. It was where homework was done, life lessons were taught, food was prepared, and meals were eaten. And my grandmothers and my mother were these incredible chef’s that would have put Gordon Ramsay in 2nd place.

Food, Family, and Traditions
Baking sweets has always been a big part of my life. Thinking back to when I was a child...baking with my mom and family provides happy memories for me. I do not remember most of my childhood, from the age of 4 until I was 12. BUT, I do recall Christmas Eve gatherings with my family and all of the cooking and baking we did together.

Ode to Rice
My love for salt oil rice cannot be underestimated. In fact, I'm eating some right now as a mid-morning snack with some toasted pecans. I'll eat it again at lunch, with sautéed greens and farm-fresh eggs. And if I'm lucky enough to have anything left over, it might very well end up as a late-night snack, studded with seaweed flakes and sesame seeds.

Blogging For A Plant-Based Future
I was a late and unlikely convert to foodism. Having grown up on Kraft Dinner, and fish sticks, canned pasta and other microwave quick fixes, I viewed food and eating as inherently utilitarian, something that one did purely out of need. Which is not to say I didn’t enjoy eating, but a nuanced appreciation of good food, quality ingredients and the significance of communal meals, were not a part of my culinary perspective. It took a drastic dietary shift for me to finally dig deeper and explore cooking and food culture.

Traditional Spaghetti with Meat Sauce
Everyone adores homemade spaghetti - especially with that extra love like momma or gramma made it. That’s precisely where I learned my spaghetti and meat sauce recipe and will divulge our family secrets to you. I remember ordering spaghetti as a child when going out to eat with my family, and it never quite measured up to what we made at home. My family recipe provides a sauce that is sweet and savory, you’ll need to make bread or toast to soak up the extra sauce. This dish is a crowd pleaser and so easy to make, that’s how you know it’s Morgan Made.
