About

I am Greg. My wife is Melissa. My wife can cook. She comes from a family characterized by strong women who know their way around the kitchen. A trip home for Melissa isn’t complete until you’ve stopped by Grandma Leone’s for pancakes.

We have been married for nearly 8 years and now have two young children, Julia and Sam who recently celebrated 1st and 3rd birthdays respectively. They are a joy, but parenting can be hard and can make meal time challenging at times, to say the least! Nevertheless, bold new recipes and delicious classics continue to find their way onto my plate. How does my wife do this?

After continually seeing the joy Melissa gets from trying new recipes I finally said, “Honey, you’ve got to start a food blog.” And so, here we are. So pull up a chair to the table and settle in for a few tips, a few stories, a few laughs (we hope), and lots of good food!

I’ll be embracing the role of sous chef and helping Melissa as much as I can with this adventure. For starters I’ll handle all the photography and the web side of things (passions of my own), but I’ll mix it up in the kitchen as well. Real men cook. Real men read to their children. You get my point, I’m sure. Oh, and of course, I’ll be taste testing!

Greg: Sound good honey?

Melissa:Yes.

We’ll probably use the above dialog format on occasion for entertainment value. Melissa can provide the real cooking expertise, I can provide the stereotypical male insight.

Bon Appetite!
