I've been collecting recipes for awhile and wanted a place where I could post notes about the ones I've tried, photos of things I've made, etc. I have about 8 weeks left of my maternity leave so I thought this was the perfect time to start this little project!
I really like to cook and prefer meals that are well-balanced, healthy, varied in terms of ingredients and, quite frankly, are fairly easy. I know that "easy" is subjective here...if you struggle to make scrambled eggs then I don't think you'll agree with me that these recipes are easy. On the other hand, if you're making gourmet meals every night you might laugh at the things that I'm making!
I am not a great meal planner in that I don't dream up a week's worth of meals and shop for them on Sundays. Now that I have a little baby and will be going back to work in a couple of months that could change...we'll see. I have a pretty small kitchen with a limited pantry so I look for recipes that use items that I usually have on hand. I'm also a big fan of googling substitutes for things and for just winging it at times. Luckily I have enough cooking knowledge to be able to wing it and have things not turn into a complete disaster. My grandmas, mom and dad have taught me a lot about cooking over the past (almost) 30 years.
So, that's my story. Enjoy!
