The Beginning to Something Special...

Well...this is the start of something that I thought I would never have time to do - BLOG. But, things have changed. I work daily with all types of media: print, radio, blogs, podcasting, everything you could mention. I'm surrounded by employees that blog, the compnay I work for is beginning to blog, it's like a new found craze. So, I thought I would throw my hat in and try it out.

I'm not gonna blog about how much I love American Idol or how much I hate some movie star like some blogs though. My purpose is simple- To give today's 20 somethings reasons why to enjoy cooking and recipes that anyone can make. I love to cook- for my friends and family. Nothing is better than homemade food- soul food is what my grandmother called it. Good food can make you feel a million different feelings, and everyone has the skills to be a good cook. I'm going to prove this by giving great recipes and steps that are easy to follow.

I grew up on a farm and I didn't have the opportunity to drive to Pizza Hut or Burger King to pick up dinner, my mother and I cooked togther everyday. Now, I see people my age eating out all the time and never cooking at home. I want to show people how great homecooked food really is and how simple recipes are to make.

So, I'm going to post recipes that I have made and tell what I thought about them. I welcome any comments from viewers and would love to get recipes from others. From time to time I will probably also post news and photos about another love of mine besides cooking- Rudy. He is my beloved best buddy, besides my husband. He weighs 8 pounds and has the cutest brown eyes ever- my toy Rat Terrier pup. You'll also see farm and country photos every once in awhile, since that is where my roots are from. So, hang-on and enjoy....
