For my birthday on 12/30, my sister gave me a subscription to Everyday With Rachel Ray and a sassy little apron. For a fleeting moment upon opening the gift box, I mistook the apron for a skimpy halter top. (See above New Year's Eve pic)
Somewhere between the Rose Parade and the Rose Bowl while reclining on the couch next to new friend Rachel, I got the idea to start a blog of my cooking projects. When I told Scott about it, he asked if I would get a book deal and get rich like in the Julie/Julia project. "No. But you will likely get some good dinners along the way." This response totally satisfied him.
The simple goal for this blog is one new dinner recipe a week. The following are the rules I've thought of so far.
1. The recipe must be a main dish. I can make enough desserts.
2. The ingredients must obtainable at a grocery store between home and the school-usually.
3. I must be able to read the recipe ingredient list without a dictionary. I don't want to have to Google a bunch of French words.
4. The recipe must be either kid-friendly or adjustable- usually. My girls would prefer to live on cupcakes.
5. Collectively the recipes must average out to "healthy." You see, I have a husband that is truly the love of my life and I don't want to kill him with butter.
5. I'm going to walk 12 miles a week to avoid becoming a fat foodie. Now 12 miles might seem like a very modest goal, but if you had any idea how bad my feet problems have been in the past year, you'd be impressed.
