A little bit about me…
Hi there and welcome to Life’s Ambrosia.com.
My name is Des and I am a 20-something girl who has always had a passion for food. After high school, rather than going to culinary school like I thought I might, I, like the majority of my classmates, went to college. After a couple years of community college followed by a transfer to a university, I finished my Social Sciences degree with a concentration in history and anthropology. Surprisingly there was not a lot of employers seeking to hire someone to research Medieval Europe and the role religion played. So I had to get a “real” (whatever that means) job and have settled somewhat comfortably in the marketing field. But no worries, my degree still comes in handy during the fiercely competitive game that is Trivial Pursuit.
Throughout the college and post college years my passion for food continued to linger. So in an effort to explore that passion I decided to start this blog where I share recipes and my kitchen experiences.
Many of the recipes that you see here won’t be anything fancy or gourmet because when it comes to food and cooking, I like to cook simply and I like food that is comforting. I like food that reminds me of my childhood or food that will comfort you no matter what your mood. To me food doesn’t need to be over complicated or gourmet to be a meal you and your family will love. So while many of these recipes may not fit in at the tables of the hippest restaurants in town, I hope that you can find room for them at your family’s table. Which in my opinion, is the most important one anyway.
I may be the writer and recipe creator for this blog but I could not do it without the hard work from my very talented husband and high school sweetheart, Ryan. He spent many hours designing the blog and putting up with my indecisiveness which can be quite the task. But that’s not all folks, he takes the pictures too. Just a Jack of all trades he is and I love him for it and also for the fact that he will taste just about anything I make without even flinching.
So that is probably enough about me but I wanted to be sure to say thank you for reading and I hope you enjoy the recipes that I share, because I will enjoy sharing.
Cheers!
Des
