So this is my first post! Exciting... The Next Food Network Star just ended. It is a reality TV show on FoodTV. Throughout the series, ten finalists compete for their own cooking show on the Food Network. This season really made me itch to do something with food, not to mention the fact that I need closure after my favorite made it all the way to the final round only for my least favorite to win. I have a couple "scratch-paper-pieces of a cookbook" typed up, but some of my cooking is a little to spontaneous for that.
The title? Easy. Feel Good Food: Feel Good Eating. I'm hoping that eventually I'll be able to share my cooking experiences with everyone. If you know me well, you know I love to cook. I love nutrition, too. Therefore, I make a lot of simple, healthy substitutions to great comfort food recipes that are usually not-so-good for you, and they end up not making you feel like you just ate a brick soaked in butter. Lots of my recipes appear out of nowhere when I want something to eat. When I end up making something that's remarkable, I then make sure I have a quantitative record of it, so I can make it again.
My goal is to have a new recipe each week, plus any little spontaneities that appear in between. I'm going to post one soon for the maiden voyage of this blog. Let's see how it goes!

Let me know what you think
Make a comment! If you have a question about food, a recipe, a restaurant you think I've been to, or want to see a certain recipe and/or type of recipe, let me know.
What is "Feel Good Food"
It is my "culinary point of view," let's say. It's like a life philosophy, except for food. Basically, I love food that makes me feel good, whether it be in a nutritious or comforting way. I absolutely love comfort foods, but realize how much better I feel (physically) when I eat foods that are healthy and nutritious. So, how to solve this dilemma?
Moderate everything, even moderation. This opens the doors for a lot of things and recognizes that extreme behavior is not only ok, but good sometimes. That's why (as time goes on) you'll find all sorts of recipes here: comforting recipes, healthy recipes, and comforting recipes with simple, healthy ingredient substitutions designed to allow people to enjoy them more.
Besides the whole feel good thing, hopefully you can learn a thing or two about cooking, too. Although I may be picky about a few ingredients, I enjoy complex, three-dimensional flavors when they're good. Alas, I strive to make the best food I can whenever possible. I am a passionate person; if I spend enough time doing or working at something, I eventually come to love it. Food, however, is one of my greatest passions. What better way to express it than learning from others, sharing my knowledge, and teaching to others all I know about food.

- I'm currently a college student at Northwestern University studying psychology, but I have an intense passion for food. Nutrition and health are also pretty important for me, so I'm constantly looking for ways to make recipes that taste amazing and don't give you a food coma.
