Welcome!

So recently I've been into trying new recipes from several books I've purchased along with some on the amazing website www.allrecipes.com  If you haven't used that site yet I highly recommend it especially on those days where you go "what am I going to cook for dinner?"

Now they even have a feature where you can input the ingredients you want to use, example say you have some stuff in the fridge but you have no idea what to make it into.  Type them in the list and hit the enter button and BAM you have a list of recipes with those ingredients.  ALSO super great if you need to find recipes without meat, dairy, nuts ,etc.

I got a little off track there with my over excitement of how much I adore that website.

I've started this on request from a friend (Carly) whom suggested that I start a food blog.  After thinking about it I thought, why not?  So here I am, and hopefully I'm diligent with using this blog so I apologize ahead of time if life gets in the way and I don't post anything.

First off let me say, ANYONE CAN COOK.  Really it's true, you can be 5 or you can be 85 it's never too early or late.

Can you read? Do you know how to measure things? Can you follow directions well?

 Those are the basics you need to be able to do in order to cook, along with patience, because let's face it sometimes our dishes don't come out perfect.

For example my boyfriend (who is going to be upset with me for saying this but oh well) when we started dating he could only cook eggs and mac n cheese. While that's okay, I wanted to show him that anyone can cook you just need to get over this idea that it's hard.  Now he can cook different things from fresh baked zucchini apple bread to thai dishes like pad see ew.  All it took was realizing cooking is just simply following steps and directions.   There is nothing to be scared about like with everything in life you just have to try!

I hope this blog tickles your palettes and gets you in the kitchen and cooking!

Feel free to post your own recipes to share with all of us.

Thanks for checking out my food blog!
