Getting Started...

Okay, I'm giving in and blogging my trials throughout the year. Kate may be the only one to read this, and there may be others. Cool either way!

So here's the background...I'm not a real good cook. I have two teen-aged daughters and they'd rather have cereal or spaghetti for dinner 9 times out of 10. After seeing the movie "Julie & Julia" I was inspired. Well, not enough to cook 550+ recipes or whatever she did in a year. But being a single mom, I figured I could tackle one new recipe a week. I ran this by the girls, and they are on board with it. We all figured it can't hurt my limited culinary skillset I have...it could only enhance.

I'm also out to find recipes that have common ingredients and won't break my bank account. I'm an average person with an average income...can't do lobster every night! Not that I'm keeping track of the cost of each recipe and each meal, but I will share my comments where I make changes or substitutions along the way and you can decide for yourself if you do the same or alter yet another way.

Here's to a year of trials, good, bad and otherwise. And here's to a few beer tours along the way, Kate!
