Back After Hiatus

I was so touched when I got messages from quite a few of you wondering why my blog hadn't been updated recently. I didn't realize that it had a little bit of a following :). Sorry to have disappointed you guys, but I'm back into action.

We took a trip out to southern Spain in early January and I fell in love with it and want to buy a vacation home there some day (when I can afford it!). Spain is one of the most beautiful countries I have ever been to - the friendliest people, the mountains, the greenery, the beaches, the history and, of course, the food! The tapas, paellas, omelets and seafood and the immense use of garlic (which I love) just blew me away. The food was uncomplicated, yet so fresh, delicious and, most of all, flavorful. I gained so much weight there because of the enormous amounts of butter and oil they use in their food that when I got back, it got me thinking...why not try and make Spanish food that tastes almost as good, but is healthier and more nutritious. So, I'm going to try and post some recipes with Spanish influence occasionally so that everyone can experience a bit of Spain in their homes.

Stay tuned and, as the Spanish say to wish everyone a good meal "Buen Provecho"!
