Something I have always wanted to do was convert over to cast iron. If you saw earlier, I posted a video on restoring cast iron skillets. I am proud to say I no longer have any other skillets other than my cast iron ones. They are relatively easy to “season” and I personally think the taste of food is so much better.

My mom would use cast iron growing up, but I feel like within my generation the use of cast iron kind of fell off, especially with the introduction of all these fancy appliances we have now! Something about cooking with cast iron brings me back to a different feel, a different time, an easier time. I know it is just a skillet, but it makes me think about a simpler life. Don’t get me wrong there is no life that is simple, just different. In our world now, everything revolves around our phones. We can do everything on it! Even in my generation I have seen technology I never thought I would see. Yes, I remember the days of VHS and dial up internet and yes, I am old. Somehow when I use cast iron, I feel like I have been taken back to a world where my smartphone doesn’t exist and maybe it is just my imagination running wild, but I wouldn’t change it any other way.

It is not just the feeling I love when using cast iron, I also love the way my food tastes after cooking with it. I can absolutely taste a difference between food cooked in cast iron compared to Teflon. It has a sizzle; I like to call it.

If you haven’t noticed already, I like to share. I like to share my life, my troubles, my triumphs, my recipes, a little bit of everything. I have opened up myself for this page and my hope is to create a connection and maybe, just maybe, my rambling will help someone along the way.

Stay tuned for an upcoming video where I can show you how I cook with cast iron!
