         Hi everyone. My name is Marisa and I am 14 years old. I have been cooking for a long time and I want to create a blog about making restaurant quality meals but putting my own spin on it. I will also discuss types of tools you need in your kitchen to create these restaurant quality meals. Since I live in the Houston area, I will also talk about many types of restaurants that I love! 
       When I was younger, I would always watch the Food Network. Rachael Ray was one of the first chefs to really inspire me to start cooking. I love to be able to be creative in the kitchen and experiment with different and odd flavor combinations. I watch many cooking shows to teach me and inspire me to cook many meals. My favorite shows on Food Network are Chopped (hosted by Ted Allen), Iron Chef America (hosted by Alton Brown and the Chairmen), Giada At Home (hosted by Giada De Laurentis), Barefoot Contessa (hosted by Ina Garten), The Great Food Truck Race (hosted by Tyler Florence), Worst Cooks of America (hosted by Anne Burrell and Bobby Flay), and many more! 
       During my blogging experience, I will be posting at least once a week to share my love for cooking, recipes, and at-home restaurant quality meals! I hope you check out my blog often for new posts and pictures! Thanks so much!
