How many times have you heard, "I'm hunnnngggggggrrrrryyyy" or "I'm thirrrrrsssssssttttttyyyy". This is what motivated me to start cooking. It's been quite the journey...ask my old roommate Debbie what happened when I tried making a potato dish for the first time...or that boy from the past that had to endure the carrot soup with the whole coriander seeds...
Well, my babies (now the youngest is 10)and sweet husband have had the privelege of tasting and testing newly discovered recipes. Some flops and many receiving five stars (our rating system) or as Caleb loves to say, "this one gets the most stars ever"! What you have here on this little bloglet are the favorites that I don't want to forget with a few little notes so I can remember who or what or when we tried a particular dish. Spoiler alert: don't tell my mom, but some will be some of her secret recipes too (except the family Apple Cake...never the Apple Cake recipe - she won't even share that one with me!)
Long story short...
I am creating this blog to keep track of all the amazing recipes that have graced our table receiving good reviews from four kids (with a variety of taste preferences and one with severe peanut/tree nut allergies), one gracious husband who supports my experimentation in the kitchen and one fluffy pooch who lives for leftovers.
I love trying new recipes and am often found buried in a pile of cookbooks or searching the web for the latest and greatest. It's not unusual for me to be up late reading a cookbook from cover to cover - especially if it's a Barefoot Contessa, my favorite! This will be a great spot to organize our family favorites and to share requested recipes with family and friends.
Let me know what you think and critique, tweak and make your own additions then come share them here. I'd love to know what works for you and I'm always open to trying new things so if you have a favorite, shoot it my way.
Thanks for stopping in for the visit!
Nicole
