A Blog is born....

2/23/2011

The labor pains of a Blog being born.......where to begin? How about with my original idea - "What's for dinner?"

Of all the things that I have to think about... make decisions about...worry about..."what to make for dinner" is absolutely the easiest! Yet, I continue to be surprised that it is not that way for everyone. So, do you want some help? I will tell you what I am going to make everyday...along with the recipe, the how and to... and maybe even a picture. Then you can work it into your meals at home and put it on your table :-)

Don't be afraid :-) I am not a gourmet cook. I enjoy creating a meal...but it can't take all day (about an hour on average unless it's something special). If there are too many ingredients and instructions...I move on to something else.  But, I do use a lot of fresh vegetables, peppers, onions etc., lean meat and fish. Most of the things I make are healthy...but I also make some "family favorites" that are to "die" for...literally.

I remember many times sitting up on the kitchen counter talking to my mom about my day. I remember my own kids (4 of them) coming home from school and yelling "Mom, I'm home". Somehow we would end up in the kitchen...for a snack...or to start homework at the table. Now, I lift my grandbabies up to the counter to help me make cookies or scrambled eggs....or just to talk to their cute little faces.  So...please join me...you are invited into my kitchen.  It is the heart of my home!
