Welcome to Bites & Beats!


I guess I’m supposed to start this blog off with a real food post, but instead I’m going to choose to explain what this blog is all about for me. It’s sort of a diary in a way. I don’t plan on using this space purely for posting recipes. I plan to use this as a place for everything, for my daily musings & ramblings, cool articles I run across, my journey through culinary school (just started last week!!!), and everything in between (expect lots of fun facts about Bakersfield), but most importantly to share my two obsessions: food & music.

As much as I would love to preach to every 20-something year old that cooking your own food is the most rewarding experience, I just can’t. Sometimes, getting that In n Out burger in your hand is more rewarding. If you ever had the chance to talk to my closest friends, they would probably start off by telling you I’m the biggest foodie and cook the most, followed by the fact that I eat the most fast food out of any chicks they know (and I represent for my hometown of Bakersfield more than anyone).  What I can promise, though, that I won’t judge when you pair some of these beats with some double decker tacos (which is from taco bell by the way, for the sad few that have never had taco bell). I can also promise that I will judge you if you pair some of these bites with country music.

Basically I just want to say WELCOME to my blog and I hope that you enjoy following me through my journey. I look forward to being able to share all my experiences, culinary and otherwise, with you!!

Also comments & feedback are always appreciated!! And if you ever run across a recipe that you think I would like (or are too scared to try yourself for the first time), SHARE WITH ME PLEASE!

ENJOY!
