Recently, I was asked a few times on Steemit whether I am a professional cook. Although I am a regular for the Steemit Sandwich Contest, hell no, I am NO cook at all. 

I have been on Steemit for awhile, but I feel like many of you don't necessary know much about me.  As such, I decided to post a proper introduce myself (sorry, it's kind of late, but it's better late, than never).

# My Account Name

Judging from my account name @steemit-foodie, you probably guessed it right that I love food. But, have you ever wonder what does the word - foodie - means?!

According to wiki, "a foodie is a person who has an interest in food ... who seeks new food experiences as a hobby rather than simply eating out of convenience or hunger."

And that is so me - I love to eat and I eat a lot - But that's pretty much it, I am NOT a professional cook. As a matter of fact, I would not dare to call myself a cook. Rather, I am a wifey (soon to be mommy), who happens to enjoy 'playing' in the kitchen and who is committed to making happy meals for my family. 

My home is Toronto and here is me, eating up a storm, everywhere and anywhere:

# Why make food & blog about it

Call me crazy, but I actually find making food a very relaxing and soothing activity. It provides me the opportunity to unwind and get stuff off my mind, especially after a long day at my full time job. In addition, it allows me to create. I am an avid art lover, and perhaps, this helps with the presentation of my food. 

Believe me, playing in the kitchen and with food is an ultimate hobby for me, just like other people who like to visit the gym, play sport, listen to music, watch movies, and etc.

Again, playing in the kitchen does not qualify me as a cook, and I have zero intention to make a living out of it or to monetize it. To me, it is a hobby. My initial goal was to use Steemit to document my food journey, for my own personal use. I had no idea others would be interested in following me, little did I know that I would meet a lot of people on here. Come think about it, it is also funny how I rely on Steemit to maintain a good mental health state. Honestly, I use it to whine about things a lot (haha).

Here are photos of the food I made for my family, which at the moment, only consists of me and my husband. But,  I am baking a little baby boy inside me now. Come May, it will be the three of us **\(^_^)/**:

# Crypto Currencies

Mind you, please don't talk to me about crypto currencies though because I don't know enough to know what I don't know. My husband, on the other hand, is the expert, so I will let him take care of everything else related to crypto and I take care of my blogging and creations.

# Profile Photo

In case you are wondering about the profile photo - It is actually a photo of me, sitting at home, reading this favourite book of mine named Dinner with Edward. I just simply adore the character Edward and the story. Perhaps, one day, I will do a book review.

So, there you go, now that you know me a little more, let's have some fun on Steemit!!
