Welcome!

It was about 8 in the morning on a Sunday, and I just told my husband in passing what we were having for dinner. All of the sudden he came up with a great idea. He said, "Marissa...you should start a cooking blog, that way you can share all the great stuff you cook." I pondered about this for a few...and then thought why not? I am always sharing recipes with my friends and coworkers, I might as well start posting since cooking is one of the things I love the most. It's not something I am too terribly good at, but I do enjoy myself when I make a mess of my own kitchen and present something new for my family to eat.

My husband Tim doesn't make it easier on me though. He doesn't like most vegetables, chicken, pork chops, and if he could...he'd eat spaghetti, tacos, and pizza on a rotating schedule. However, lately he has been surprisingly open minded. I think that writing this blog could help him enjoy certain foods a little more. Also, it will give me a fun hobby to share with friends. I will update when I can...when I try something new and post a pic.

I'm also open to new ideas and changes. I am not as creative as I would hope, so the input of others always carries a lot of weight with me. I also finally have the pleasure of having a kitchen with a ton of space. So here we go, first dinner is tonight. We will start off with a new favorite I stumbled across about 3 weeks ago. Can't wait!
