Hey guys I'm Justin. I'm absolutely in love with cooking and i'm hoping for this forum to be the place I come to again and again to learn. I'm looking to expand my knowledge of cooking to help promote a healthy lifestyle within my family and friends, (as well as looking for new recipes to help wow everyone!)

Hi Justin,

...and welcome! I think you'll find that we're THE friendliest food forum on the web- and we're a fine bunch of folks from all regions, all walks of life and a variety of cooking experiences. C'mon in, pulluppa chair and enjoy taking part! We're glad you're here! smiles- Kevin P.S. If I may ask, which "Springfield" are you from? I live in central Illinois near the capital of Springfield. I've also spent time all over Oregon- including the Springfield, there!

Hello Justin. This is an excellent forum with the best of people that love to cook. Going through the cooking forums and reading post from the past shows just you how great and helpful folks are here. I have only been here a short time myself but can tell you that I have not found any other site out there that comes any where close to being the type of community found here. I hope that you come to enjoy it just as much as I do.
