hello,
Welcome to Edible Opulence.
Here I will share with you my love for food, stories of cooking adventures, fine dining, recipes, tricks, tips,menu themes and just about any other topic dealing with food.
Some describe wealth as what tangible assets they have: the cars, the homes, the designer shoes or purses, well there is nothing wrong with those things. I think wealth is food. For me food is how I say I love you. Food represents life's riches, hence " Opulence".
Ok, let me give you an example, my baby son who was 4, when this happened, made me the best peanut butter sandwich I ever had. The apple butter ran out so he got creative and used part apple butter and the other part grape jelly to finish the sandwich. There were gobs and globs of jelly and peanut butter. The gooey jelly peanut buttery mixture ran all over the place when I picked up the sandwich monster. The combination for the apple butter, the peanut butter and the grape was interesting. I ate every bite and loved every m
oment of the sandwich. The Opulence, was the priceless sandwich and memory I have of my then 4 year baby son who proudly watched me eat his (sort) of edible messy sandwich creation.

This is a picture of my pineapple rum cake. this is my twist on my late aunt's specialty. This one I made for my husband's 40th birthday party in 2012. The pineapple upside cake recipe was handed down by my late Aunt Julia. I made it with her so many times growing up I can make this recipe in my sleep. My Aunt was a wonderful caring lady. She taught me many things about cooking.
With my aunt in mind, I dedicate this blog to all the great cooks in my family. And to all my foodies who have blessed me with their friendships, recipes, tips and Edible Opulence.
