How it started....

By the demand of my husband and those 6 friends who wanted to see this, I am starting this blog. I never thought I would blog anything. I mean who cares about my life?? Then I had this idea.

I was going to cook 365 new recipes in a year. I mean I have all these wonderful cookbooks. I have tons of them in my kitchen. My wonderful sister in law gives them to me for my birthday. (thanks Jen!) I love to read them. I subscribe to cooking magazines and am always looking at cooking web sites. I find a couple of great things to make and then I fall into the rut of just making those things. Don't we all? I am sure that I am not the only one guilty of that.

So, this was my year to change it. I am going to make 365 new recipes. I am going to cook things I never thought I would make. I am also, in the process, going to make my kids eat with us for dinner and eat what I make. Done with the corn dogs and nuggets!! It was a great idea until I sat down to plan the first week and made the list of what to buy. It takes a lot of planning!

So, join me in the ups and downs. The great things I make and not so great things. I will post recipes, photos and what my kids think of eating things like salmon!
