Blogs I follow and Why Part Two: Tastefully American

Blogs I Follow and Why Part Two: Tastefully American

We all know that I am a fanatic about candles, family, and home. When I found Tastefully American, I was in heaven more importantly, I was pleasantly surprised.

Food is Art

I have found that many great experiences have been made in the kitchen. Great conversations, and a great learning area for kids, not to mention, we all like to eat.
One thing that comes to mind that truly caught my attention about Tastefully American was how a family, in this case a husband, Mike Samii, who is a Cordon Bleu Chef and his wife, Valerie Samii, who is a French Pastry Chef, also Graphic Artist, brought their talents together and became one.
Together they blend their talents and share their love for cooking, wine, and art with all that will savor what they have to offer.

Romance

It is said, "the fastest way to a man's heart is through his stomach". I am not really sure who said that, but as a young girl growing up, I sure heard that a lot.
The flip side is the fastest way to a woman's heart is through romance. You know, a soft candle light dinner, that is adorned with a tastefully decorated dinner table, will just about help you to forget the hurried everyday life that we all seem to get entranced with.

Benefits of Tastefully American

I have often wondered did it really matter what color the wine was? Why do you serve white wine with fish? Or is it you serve red wine with fish? Is there really a health benefit to drinking a glass of wine? Noticed I said, "a". Well to answer these questions and to be able to enjoy some great art and new ideas for recipes, I just go to Tastefully American to help me out.
So, if you are looking for some new ideas to help on the romantic side or just looking for new ideas for dinner, Tastefully American is a great blog to visit. Click here to see what may help your next meal.

Stop by next week to see Part Three and remember, this blog is about paying it forward. I have found that some of the richest experiences have been my personal contact with these people and I pay it forward by sharing with you. Please share some of your favorite blogs or online business that you like to work with and why.
