Announcements, Announcements, ANNOOOUUUNNCEEMENTS!

Just had a girls camp flashback! LOL Gotta love those!

I read a quote that a good friend (Thanks Nane!) posted on FB recently and it managed to describe exactly how I feel about a particular subject in a way that I couldn't compose with my own words. It's simple, but often taken for granted or looked over for more cost efficient or time saving convenience.

Cooking at home conveys an unspoken message to the family. It says "YOU are worth my time and energy".

I know cooking isn't easy. Especially if it isn't your "thing". But I can say from my own experience that the small effort you put into a meal satisfies more than just hunger. It feeds ones spirit and nourishes the soul. That's my last cheezeball line for the week...promise! LOL

Now one quick "announcement". In an effort to make cooking at home easier for us all - I've decided to do recipes/picture tutorials on my blog. I've made many attempts at chronicling the different "foodie" things I try and I still end up with my old school stacks of paper and scribbled in cookbooks. Seriously. I'll post a picture cause it's THAT bad! LOL

SOOOOOO, I'm going to handle things the new and improved way from now on. I'll try to take step by step pictures and list recipes here on my familia blog. Small fact - I cook/bake and often times don't measure or remember what the heck I did! LOL It's so hard to duplicate something my family loved if I can't remember what I did in the first place! I'm hoping that this will help me to keep a good record of the things I try and that it will also allow for you all to try new things too! I'll tag them "Food" so they are easily accessible here. I get recipe requests all the time and it's a heck of a lot easier to refer someone here where there are pictures and descriptions. So here goes nothin'! Now if only I had decided to do this before I made cinnamon rolls twice a week for the entire month of December! LOL

I look forward to hearing your feedback if/when you try things out!
