I have decided to document my quest in finding new and awesome recipes that my family enjoys. I have been married to my husband for almost 5 years and very little has changed at our dinner table. We have rotated tacos, spaghetti, pizza, fried chicken, and a few other dinners since we got married, and we are to our breaking point.
So why am I doing this? I always thought it was pretty cheesy for people take photos of their food and post about their recipes because I always thought of it as a way for people to show off and brag about how advanced they are in the culinary arts. We are that family that consists of picky eaters and plain janers. It is really hard to find recipes for good, regular food. I am determined to find new variations for the same food we have been eating for years. Most importantly, I am looking for easy instructions, simple ingredients, and minimal time required. I don't want to show off. I don't want to brag. I want other busy moms to see that it doesn't take a lot of effort to make your family happy at the dinner table.
I also should mention that I am one of those frugal mommas...coupons and all. I try to plan our meals around what is on sale and what I can get for free or really cheap (which is still a learning process for me) so I may talk time to time about getting the most bang for your buck regarding recipes and ingredients because, let's face it, we all have better things to spend our money on than food!
So that's me, and that's what I'm fixin' to do! Please join me once or twice a week as I try new recipes, give my honest feedback, and also share tried and trued family regulars.
And just for fun...my inspiration for this new journey: my family
