Introducing... Me!

---

My first blog post.

I've always wanted to do this. One thing that I vow to myself... is that I will write for no one, but MYSELF. That's right, no fluffing, no bluffing and absolutely no... Okay I can't think of anything else clever to rhyme with luffing. This is me. This is Sarah Kay. I'm serving the good, the bad and the BOLD. I express myself through imagery + honest writing. My style is, vibrant, fun, weird and fabulous. Don't like it? Cool! Don't read it:) hehe.

I grew up with parents who love to cook. My mother, an adventurous Spanish teacher, has taken me all around latin america + parts of Europe introducing me to wild cuisines and teaching me the ins-and-outs of travel. My Father, the most "zen" person you'll ever meet... was also a huge advocator for adventurous eating. While growing up in a small town of 900 people in northern, MN most kids were having tater tot hot dish (yes, hot dish. Not casserole) for dinner... and me? I was eating bone marrow.

Why EatzandCookz?

Good question. @EatzandCookzmsp is my handle on Instagram. It started as a way to keep track of a "lifestyle change" I was trying called Whole30. I thought by taking pictures of my food everyday it would help me stay strict to my diet regiment. In turn, it helped! I became obsessed with food styling and cooking with strong flavors. @EatzandCookzmsp became a healthy (no pun intended) outlet for me to express my love for cooking and eating. WA BAM.

Why "z"?

I like it because it's different. I feel more playful when I don't follow the rules.

Eating in general should be an experience. Think about it, how many times are you sitting at lunch with your coworkers, eating your lunch... and also talking about food or cooking. Even when we are eating, the conversation is STILL about food. Our lives revolve around our three daily meals.

So my advice? Don't waste your life eating shit food... Ignite your sense of adventure and let's try the world's cuisine together!

Here begins my journey of showcasing beautiful food. I hope you feel inspired, excited and hungry.
