About Me

I'm Mat and I'm married to the most incredibly wonderful woman, Jen Ramos, author of MadeByGirl Blog.  She's the creative side of the family except in the kitchen. Ever since we started dating, one of my favorite things to do is to cook for her.

I have some culinary background but most of this comes from practice and love.  Simple meals, minimal ingredients, and creative presentation are important. After some nudging from Jen and friends, and after years of Jen posting photos on Twitter, I've finally decided to post the photos, the recipes and the tips here.

And of course, we love to eat out so I'll be sure to write up some reviews on all the spots we dine at (or check some of them out on my TripAdvisor contributions page).

  10. Your love for Jen is so very inspiring. You both are so fortunate to have each other and to know what is feels like to have someone love you (and feed you) unconditionally. I love my husband the same way :) Best to you both!

  12. Me encanta tu blog y el de tu mujer. Son una inspiración.
    Saludos desde Monterrey, Mexico.
    Si me permites una sugerencia, deberías traducir algunas de tus recetas.
    Y ojalá pudiera comprar en México las tremendamente hermosas pinturas que hace la adorable Jen.
