I am so happy you found my blog!
My name is Shawn {I know… it’s a boy’s name, but I love the unique-ness of it!} (thanks Mom!).
I am absolutely obsessed with food! Cleaning up? Now that’s a different story… My main objective here is to create delicious recipes that are easily prepared with as few dishes as possible.
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.
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 – 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.
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
I’m in my mid 30’s, and am surviving with 5 beautiful children and one handsome husband in the desert of Southern Utah.
I have a weakness for sweets, but it’s 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’ve 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’ll be lucky to get a shower today.
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.
So that’s me in a nut-shell. Hope you enjoy reading, cooking, and exploring!
