My name is Monique Rodriguez. I am of Puerto Rican and Italian decent and come from two families that are passionate about food...but mostly eating delicious food. My passion for cooking started at an early age when i would spend time with my grandmother watching cooking shows on day time television. She would cook from her heart and push food on people. I discovered at the age of 16, during my first dinner party, that the food pushing is hereditary.
My love for food and cooking has led me to start a blog where I can obsess about food (http://www. iarethefoodsnob.com ) on a daily basis. I spend a lot of my free time hosting get togethers, trying new recipes, and dining out with fellow food enthusiasts.
