I have always had a passion for food since I was little. My love of food came mostly from my father. While growing up he would tell stories of the times where he grew up in the south and all of the food him and his family would eat. He would even go into stories that were both funny and timeless. I would often wish I could have been present during those times to enjoy the meals he would often refer to. My favorite moments concerning food would be when my father would cook meals and bake desserts while I watched, often getting kicked out of the kitchen because of my ever-growing reputation as a "crumb snatcher." No shame. I'm proud of that title.

After my father past away in August of 2013, I felt that it was time to continue his legacy and have been doing that by diving deeply into the world of food, coming up with my own recipes as well as tweaking recipes that were found or given to me. I like to think I have created my own legacy that he would be proud of. This foodie website is dedicated to him, the man who is Samuel Williams.

What I also love is sharing memories of food with my mother. Every time she goes into a story about the parties with the tons of BBQ, and how much it fed everyone and STILL had plenty of food to start all over with the next day is another reason food is life. And watching food shows with her on The Food Network and The Cooking Channel is fun, funny, and inspiring. Doing that is what made me want to rebuild my foodie blog in the first place.
