My Other Blog
I decided to start another blog, a food / recipe blog. I am absolutely, in no way, by any means or by anyone, considered a "cook". I get by and my family doesn't complain, get sick or starve. That really is all I can hope for!
I'm starting this blog, as an addition to my regular blog, for a couple of reasons.
1. To consolidate. My recipes are scattered throughout my cookbooks. I'm hoping this will keep me from having to search through them all to find the one I want. They are simple ones, with just a few ingredients and are easy. I am always looking for recipes like these and will add them as I find them. A lot of these recipes are ones passed down from my mom, grandmas and aunts. And, don't get your hopes up - I don't think there will be many pictures.
2. I hope that if you do look at these, there will be something here to help you and make your meals a little easier. And I hope that if any of you have recipes you think someone else would find appealing, that you will pass it along to us.
This blog is really only to make my life easier, and along the way, I hope you can benefit too!
