My 2013

2013

And so I cook…..

cook bookSot it is confession time here..  So ummmm, well I uh, um so I have never been much of a baker, or a super all in cooker….  I make dinner and we eat.  I have many of my own recipes and we seem to eat many of the same things over and over again.  But I wanted to start eating different things and giving my family more of a variety… More homemade stuff and less box stuff.

So as I stood in line at the grocery store and this cook book stared me in the face I knew I had to have it.  I had to have it because less than 24 hours later I had found The Pioneer Woman’s site and had fallen head over heels in love with her site.. Not only for the couple super yummy recipes I had found on the site but also because of her personal blogging she has done on there to make you realize she is a real person just like the rest of us.

When The Pioneer Woman Cook book was sitting there looking at me and was on sale I knew it must come home with me.  I dug deep into reading on the way home and by the time I had gotten home I had already found the first recipe I wanted to cook.

I added homemade Mac and Cheese to the menu that night and I have to say it was a huge hit……

I decided I will cook one recipe a week out of my new favorite cook book and let me family fall even more in love with me.

What should I cook next week?
