I am so happy you found my blog!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My name is Shawn {I know\u2026 it\u2019s a boy\u2019s name, but I love the unique-ness of it!}<\/em> (thanks Mom!).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am absolutely obsessed with food! Cleaning up?<\/em> Now that\u2019s a different story\u2026 My main objective here is to create delicious recipes that are easily prepared with as few dishes as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have never had any formal training in the culinary field, just happy accidents in the kitchen. I do my best to create my own dishes, but most are inspired by other great chefs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have never had any formal training in the art of photography either. I simply taught myself and feel I have grown exponentially over the past few years. When I first started blogging in May 2010- December 2010 I used a Pentax Optio A10 point and shoot camera. December 2010 \u2013 November 2014 I used the Sony NEX-5 DSLR with a 18mm-220mm lens or an f1.8 50mm fixed lens. I am currently using the full frame Sony a7 with the 55mm f1.4 lens or a 90mm micro lens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m in my mid 30\u2019s, and am surviving with 5 beautiful children and one handsome husband in the desert of Southern Utah. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have a weakness for sweets, but it\u2019s gotta be simple. I love fresh fruits and vegetables and serve them gladly to my family. I am always willing to try something at least once. I love to mountain bike, swim and be outdoors. I\u2019ve competed in several triathlons and a few ironman relays and am always up for a good adventure!But seriously, with 5 kids, I am just trying to juggle what life throws at me, and I\u2019ll be lucky to get a shower today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My first cookbook, Express Lane Cooking, was released on July 21, 2015 and I am super excited about it! You can read more about it HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So that\u2019s me in a nut-shell. Hope you enjoy reading, cooking, and exploring!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
