The Beginning

This will be my 3rd attempt at starting a blog. I have a half-assed family one that I rarely keep up with. I hope this can be a place for me to share my cooking adventure, both sucesses and failures. I hope I can also keep up with what my family is doing also.




In some alternate universe, where I have obscene amounts of time and money, I would focus more on cooking. I'd take classes and buy expensive cookware. It would be lovely. However, this is not my reality. I work full time which keeps me out of the house from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. The weekends are usually a blur of cleaning and running around. When we do get home on the weeknights, there is rarely time to make anything resembling a wholesome meal. The littlest of my boys is VERY fond of food. He is usually demanding to be fed the instant we walk in the door. So, my first option is to load him up on raisins and crackers until I can get something made. This usually backfires b/c by that point, he's full and won't eat the food. The other option is to listen to him cry until dinner is ready.


Meet my little piggy. This is Owen...



My oldest is Vincent. He loves to "help" me cook.



We recently purchased a DSLR camera. I am completely new to it and have a lot to learn. Please forgive the horrible pictures I will most likely post here.



Enjoy!
