At Home

As much as I like to think of myself as a really great multitasker, I am really more of a work-hard-get-one-big-project-done-at-a-time kind of a gal.

So, I have been saving up a bunch of posts on cooking and baking. While I had some time at home over Christmas and New Years I enjoyed being able to cook and bake at a leisurely pace. It really is one of my favorite things. And I had several new cookbooks to try out. Drew had to rein me in around the second week when I was getting ready to try my hand at shortbread cookies, gingerbread men, and mexican wedding cookies (snowballs).

Men.

They just dont understand the fairer sex's obsession with sugary baked goods...and a close second, feeding people.

He is concerned with things like health and weight management. Bah!

No, really I am glad that my husband really enjoys my cooking AND helps me make wise, healthy food decisions. To be fair, I had already made two desserts the week before and we had just returned from Christmas with family (can you say Coconut Cream pie? how about Cinnamon Rolls?)

Anyway, expect to see a few recipe reviews, dinner suggestions, baked goodies, and the like on here the next few days. I hope they inspire you to make something new or just enjoy being in the kitchen. I know I need a pick me up every once in awhile.
