I find myself drifting at times between two influences to my center culinary. Generally, I find good basic food will always have a place on my dinner table – However, Italian and American South East or “Southern” or “the Dirty” tends to fit the bill more often than not.
Why? Well, your guess is as good as mine. My Parents both didn’t influence me to heavy based on any region, or nationality. Other than, when my Mom went back to work all of us children had to take a night to make dinner. So, at an early age I learned to value of putting things together from the pantry to make good, basic food. While my Mom was a eat to live type, I found a home cooking and became on of those live to eat types.
