I Have Been Cooking, Honest

I have shirked my duties as a blogger in lien of trying to make money. This economy has not made it so I cannot cook, but it has affected the frequency in which I blog. I would love to get back on track and say hello to the new year. Here's to you!

This is a great list of how tos that will help even the most inexperienced chef get through a meal. Simply Recipes is one of my favorite sites and I hope you all give it a gander.

J is for Jack of All Trades

I am a lover, a chef, a mother and an a**hole. Jack of all trades? Yeah, and I know this. My biggest passion is food. Yesterday, my husband saw me staring at the computer. He asked if I was chatting someone up. Out of all the things I could be doing. How dare he? I was staring at Amanda's Cookin' blog. I was enchanted by all the ooeey, gooey desserts she had on the site, trying to see what I would make. Look at this:

Indignant

I have a sister that calls me every time she wants to make something. She needs directions. She will call from the grocery store. Once she prepares her meatloaf, spaghetti, mac and cheese, whatever, she feels the need to tell me that her was better. Who said it was a competition? I get indignant and want to hang up. I thought food was better than that, but even then, there is competition.

A is for Anxiety: The Blogging From A to Z April Challenge

So, I joined the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge and my first post will be about 'Anxiety".
I am absolutely panicked that I will be unable to keep up with the challenge. My wish is to blog about food and food stuff all day, but I get sidetracked by the minutia that is my life. I get the kiddies ready and I actually start planning meals in my mind that day. Sometimes I will make two different meals. My kids love pot pies in a white creamy sauce. My husband hates white creamy foods, so there is always some weird adjustment. (He had a mayonnaise incident that has scarred him for life).
I start looking for one recipe and two hours later, I am still searching. This is because everything sounds so delicious. Eventually, I will have rewritten that recipe because I know what will work better with my family. Anyways, I am off in search of a banana pudding recipe that I can tinker with.

Here's to getting rid of all that anxiety about being a proper blogger.
Wish me luck.
