Welcome

Hey, I’m Eric!

Born and raised in Louisiana, I’m just a regular country boy who enjoys cooking. I am a self-taught home cook and rely on my passion for developing and layering flavors to drive the recipes I create.

I grew up in Louisiana (now living in Houston) with two loving grandmothers who had two different styles of cooking, and I learned a lot from them both, along with what I learned from my mother.

I made some dietary adjustments as I got older, and once I lost my parents to health issues, I quickly realized I needed to make some changes. In addition, I learned more through my relationship with God and adjusted my lifestyle accordingly. The recipes you will see on this site will not include pork or shellfish, and that’s just a choice I made for myself. Even though I try to eat clean, at times, I will justify some not-so-healthy options. Homemade pizza, double-stacked burgers, and Tex-Mex are at the top of my list!

As far as my cooking style is concerned, I am all about turning good/clean ingredients into great recipes! I prefer to cook from scratch, but life keeps you busy and extra time is not always available. So, I try to make my recipes as simple as possible — without compromising on flavor.

I love to experiment to try to come up with new recipes, so at times I may strike out, but there are those moments when I hit a home run, and those are the ones I want to share with you all. I really enjoy helping people and making those around me feel comfortable so welcome to my world of food.
