Introduction

I'm no Rachel Ray or Julia Child, but I do love to cook. Several people have gone on record (figuratively) to say that I'm a picky eater, but it's really not that true. Yes, there are things that I don't like and wont bother to try; beans for instance, their mushy/mealy texture need to stay far away from my pallet. But, I do like trying things, sometimes it works, sometimes it's good to know what should not be on the menu ever again.

I've taken to Pintrest and AllRecipes.com to find new dishes to try based on whatever I or my partner might be in the mood for. Yet, sometimes the hoops required to find those recipes again and again can be tedious. Pintrest, for instance, shows you the yummie picture but sometimes it can be as much as four other links to actually get at the information needed to make the food. Plus, the occasion where you've found something that looks fantastic but the link no longer exists when you come back to it - so, annoying. 

Then, there are the tweaks. Sure, I can write stuff down, but physical cookbooks are limited to their space, and I manage to loose every set of notes I take.  Often meals get tweaked because of likes, dislikes, or simply having to improvise because you've already been to the store two too many times that day.

The biggest reason for the blog is because I like sharing. I may not be able to share every prepared meal with others, but I can share how to do it.
