The Easier the Better

I have always loved homey food, and I really enjoy how the simplest ingredients can make you feel right at home.

When I go out to eat with people, they are always masking the flavor of the food, whether we're eating sushi or a burger at a bar, out comes the soy sauce, eel sauce, ketchup, mustard with no moderation. I will admit that on occasion I have been known to use condiments, but when I take a bite of my food I want the first taste to hit my pallet to be from the food not the "add-ons".

Now, I'm not saying there is NO place for condiments because there is, but again in moderation, and instead of using them after you finish cooking, use them IN your cooking.

Whether you're cooking for yourself or for a family, keep it easy, keep it simple.
