About Me
I started to take cooking seriously when I turned 30 (36 as of the time of this writing)
At the time when I turned 30, I had this regular weekly potluck meet up with friends. Prior to my turning 30, I was definitely one of those guys who would just stop by a convenience store on the way there to pick up a bag of Doritos.
However once I hit 30, something shifted in me & I felt the need to step up my game. So I started learning to make various appetizers to bring. Then from there, I kept expanding
A few years later, I started to run with a running group regularly, training for marathons & half marathons. Saturdays are long run days. After those long runs, I saw that a lot of runners would get together for a tailgate party to celebrate finishing the run & just have a good time. In going to those, I noticed that, for the most part, usually people brought drinks or snacks from a convenience store.
As a way to contribute to the group & facilitate getting to know people better, I decided to start cooking dishes to bring to these tailgates, similar to what I’d done before with the weekly friend meet up. However it’s taken on a whole new life & encouraged me to be more creative & take my skills further.
I like to try to go for dishes that aren’t so common
As far as difficulty levels, some are more simple to make. Others are more complex & take more planning
These days I eat a type of Flexitarian diet (no red meat ever, sometimes chicken but not often). Most of my dishes reflect that
Whether you’re a runner or not, these are some fun recipes that are meant to be shared!!
