First post!

Well, I had this crazy idea while I was in the shower this afternoon.....Since I love food so much, and love posting my food photos on facebook, why not create a blog for food?  Well the blog turned into creating videos, with the target or the goal to be a Food Network Star.  This has been a dream of mine for years.  I have always loved the Food Network channel and watch it ALL the time.  I called my brother and threw the idea out to him and he suggested I take it one step further and create a YouTube channel, so I created the channel for you to follow me at!  http://www.YouTube.com/user/wannabefoodtvstar  The videos will eventually come with a great intro that I have floating in my head....I will keep you all posted on the progress of this.

As I mentioned I want to be on Food Network as a Celebrity Chef.  I aspire to be like Bobby Flay, Tyler Florance, Michael Chiarello, Alton Brown, etc.  I have a passion for food, and I love to share recipes, photos, etc.  

I hope that you all will find this blog to be informative and useful.  Please ask questions, post comments, etc.

BTW:  Here is my first food pic on here! (Crappy photo I know!)

Here is the recipe for the Pork Tenderloin Sandwiches (Megan, substitute chicken here).....

1 pork tenderloin

2 garlic cloves minced

Olive Oil

Kosher Salt

Fresh Cracked Black Pepper

1 cup of Romaine Lettuce cut up

Couple sprigs of fresh dill

4 basil leaves sliced into strips

Balsamic Vinegar

1 Roma Tomato sliced thin

Fresh Ciabatta Rolls

Meat:

Lightly coat the outside of the tenderloin with the Olive Oil and rub in the garlic all over.  Sprinkle with the Kosher Salt and the fresh cracked pepper.  Place on the grill and turn every 7-8 minutes.  The internal temp should be no less than 170 degrees to be cooked!  Remove once cooked and let the rest for 10 minutes.  This will help get the juices redistributed.  Once it has rested slice into thin 1/4 inch slices.

Salad Topping:
Mix the green veggies in 1 table spoon of Olive Oil, 2 tablespoons of Balsamic Vinegar and a little pinch of salt. Slice the tomato into thin slices, drizzle with Balsamic Vinegar and add a little cracked black pepper.

Ciabatta Bread:

Lightly coat with Olive Oil and place on the grill till slightly brown

Putting it together:

Simply take a handful of the salad and place it on the top bun and place a couple of the yummy marinated tomatoes on top of the salad.  Take 3 of the slices of pork tenderloin and put it on the bottom and enjoy!  

For those wondering I just have some kettle kooked chips as a side....The saltiness is a perfect compliment to the sandwich.....You could always put some fresh broccoli or asparagus there too I guess...
