Welcome to The Sassy Chef

The idea for "The Sassy Chef" originated with a journal I was doing on AOL by the same name. I just wasn't happy with the way that blog was turning out, so I decided to start over here.

I have always loved to cook and bake. I remember, when I was little, my Mom spent every weekend baking bread and cookies and making homemade doughnuts. The smells coming from the kitchen were intoxicating.

When I entered high school, just imagine my delight to take home ec classes!! I absolutely hated the sewing, but when it came to the cooking aspect I was enamored!! That's where I made my first homemade noodles and learned to check cost according to portion sizes at the grocery store.

Then onto adult life. I started low on the totem pole in the food business. Dishwasher and waitressing (which I abhorred) before I graduated to cook and shift manager. A couple of years ago I got my Illinois Food Service Certification and was thrilled. At the moment, I'm not working in the food sector, but hope to change that soon by starting my own small business. Haven't quite worked out the avenue I want to take, but have been making plans. In the meantime, here I am. I hope you enjoy this blog and stop by often.
