Happy New Year! and Welcome....

Happy New Year all! And welcome to my little blog:)

As this new year is starting I am contemplating many different ideas for resolutions. Every year one is decided upon and generally broken within the month. This year I thought I would try something different. This blog is my new years resolution. My project , if you will! The plan is to record my dinner recipes every day.

For a few years now, I have been planning to actually try and record what I am doing while I am cooking. This is something I am pretty good at and I LOVE to do. My kids like to check it out and help out sometimes, so originally this started as a plan to put together a cook book for my two kids. A nice little “family treasury”, some fun memories and some useful recipes for their later years. The more I thought about this idea, the more I liked it.

Recently, money has been, shall we say, a little tight? So being the stay at home mom, who would like to continue to stay at home with her little ones, I have been on a never ending quest to find ways to make some cash from home.

So this is my latest grand scheme! Write the cook book for my kids, make it so it can be personalized for different people and get it published! GENIUS! I am on my way….no idea where to start…..and for my next genius idea, I thought I would start this blog. Share my daily dinner recipes(and my trials and tribulations), get some feedback and see where we end up!

Well, dinner is in about an hour, so I better get started! Will post the day one recipe soon! Hope you all enjoy!
