"Pull Up a Chair..."

We are starting this blog at an interesting point in our lives with an interesting point-of-view we can't wait to share.

We are five months out from our wedding and are starting to form the foundation of our life together; and we're realizing that so much we do together (and apart) has to do with food. You could certainly call us foodies and we're coming from a unique perspective that we hope to inspires you to enjoy this endlessly delicious life with us and with (good) food.

Recently, NPR reported on the dropping rate of car ownership amongst Millenials.We are mid-twenty-somethings and are in that nebulous group between Generation X and the Millenials, but the core of this story hit close to home.

In recent years, our age group has watched our friends and families lose their jobs, their life savings and their homes. Our sense of security in the American Dream has been lost and we have little faith in hard work and consumerism.

Because of this insecurity, we aren't buying big ticket items we fear we'll be paying on forever and/or lose anyways. Instead, we are spending our money on experiences.

Experiences like planning vacations around area restaurants, driving an hour to try the new pear/watercress ice cream at an independent local sundae shop or scouring Living Social and Groupon for good deals on gourmet eats.

Millenials know that things like new car smell and the thrill of sleeping in your new bedroom are fleeting - but memories of the giant breakfast sandwich your mom used to make or failed attempts at making your own salmon cakes last much longer and are so much more fun to share.

We want to share these experiences with you and encourage you to have and share your own. In Endlessly Delicious Life, we hope to share these memories, recipe ideas, tricks of the trade, restaurant reviews and trend-spotting with features like:

        - Family-favorite recipes and Pinterest experiments
        - Taste tests of national brands and chains
        - Jordan's insights from food service
        - He Made/She Made challenges

and so many other features that tell you about us, our lives, our love for each other and for good food.

So pull up your chair, take a taste and come join us as we experience, savor and appreciate this endlessly delicious life!

- Jordan & Amanda
