Welcome

My new years resolution this year was to cook at least once a week. Honestly, I don't know where this idea came from. I've always wanted to love cooking.... you know? I was pretty good at cooking but never made anything really amazing and unique. And cooking always took at least an afternoon. It was so time consuming! And I'm a really picky eater, can't do weird textures or strong spices. Seriously, I'm picky. Family would make me separate dishes from everyone else because I'm so difficult. Therefore, again, don't really why I wanted to do this....but I just dove right in. Started out small-- cooking once a week, making good but not spectacular dishes. Then everything changed. I blame the food network. I fell in LOVE. Yes, you guessed it....with food (well, that was already a done deal) and cooking!!!! I love to cook now! In less than two months I have been converted! I've even started growing herbs! HERBS!!! I'm surprising myself. I think I can even say with some confidence that everyone who knows me, or has ever tried to make me eat shrimp, is shocked as well. So my best friend suggested I start a blog about my cooking. (Yes, she is in shock too.) Which is perfect because I am wayyy too proud of everything I make-- and where is one of the best places to brag???? The internet of course! (Thank you, facebook) So enjoy viewing this picker eater cook some awesome dishes (yes- vegetables are included!)
