What's good everybody? Welcome to my website, where we are all About The Love of Food over here!  Thank you for paying me a visit. If you don't know me, allow me to introduce myself. My name is Drexler B. James, but if you want, you can call me Drex for short.

​

I'm a foodie, lover of all things related to eating, cooking and nutrition. If you start talking about food around me, I'm going to get excited and we can talk for days. Also, if you check my Netflix and Hulu Watch History, I'm most likely going to have most cooking shows on there lol.

 

My love for food was given to me as a gift by my late father, who was unafraid to try any new food or recipe. He and I would always talk about food and I could share recipes that I've tried or wanted to try with him. When he died, I felt like I lost my food buddy and, during moments of grief or depression, I would  cook up a storm and feel like I was connected to him again.

​

My journey with my love for food hasn't always been easy or smooth though. I am also a recovering fat kid. As an overweight child, my relationship with food was originally unhealthy, but now, I've learned how to enjoy food and make food work for me and I want to share that passion, knowledge and interest with you.

 

The major keys to success for me was (1) intentional meal prepping and (2) learning how to incorporate flavors and cuisines into my food to keep it from being boring, without having to always been unhealthy to taste good. This journey has taught me to bridge the gap between delicious and nutritious, and I want to help others cross that bridge too.

​

I'm not a registered dietician nutritionist (yet, but I'm working on that), however, I have found that food was a major part of my success in losing more than 50 pounds over the years and (for the most part) keeping it off. I want to show people that you can enjoy food, no matter what your health path looks like!

​

So pull up a chair, grab a glass of water, and get ready to enjoy something delicious!
