About Debby

I'm a working wife and mom to a college age kid. I feel so blessed to live on the Monterey Peninsula of California. My culinary skills are all pretty much self-taught by watching others, reading cookbooks and trial and error. My mother's side of the family comes from Bavaria, Austria. My mother passed on her love of cooking, and several of her favorite German/Austrian recipes. My other half of my D.N.A. is Hispanic. I love Mexican food, too.
I love cooking, grilling and baking-- not preferring one of another. If I could take Culinary Classes, I'd love to learn pastry making. I don't consider myself artistic, so I struggle with cake decorating. You could say that my style of cooking is simple, using fresh ingredients whenever possible.

Ingredients you will never see in my grocery cart are prepared and processed foods. I'll take shortcuts with quality stocks, baked goods and a few other things. Canned soups and Oil-based fake whipped toppings have no place in my kitchen!

Food blogging is very new to me. I'm just learning about food photography and enjoying sharing my successes (and errors) with other foodies. I'm hopeless addicted to looking at recipes with photographs-- I guess I'm just highly visual. That's why I named my blog "A Feast For The Eyes"..
