On My Plate

This week begins a new series in Tastes Like Home. It is called, On My Plate (OMP). OMP is a series in which I will share with you what I’m eating. People often think that because I write about food I am always eating something fancy or ultra-gourmet. I do, sometimes. But that is not the norm for me. I like simple food. I like everyday food. Often when I cook and make things – particularly for this column – I gravitate to what I think that home cooks like myself can handle given our penchant for experimenting, trying new ingredients and flavours, hence, Tastes Like Home.
