The New Chef On The Block

    For nine months and a week my belly grew and grew until two months ago when a beautiful little baby boy came out! 

 (as you can see I am a great cook already! 
His meals are always made perfectly on time
 with the perfect temperature and flavor ;) )

Ever since that day I have been starving!!! People were not joking when they said nursing makes you hungry!  I found that just snacking continually isn't cutting it anymore. My used to be little bowl of ice cream has turned into a carton of ice cream. 
    My favorite is going out to eat. You ask for a dish and walla it appears. I want water in my glass and a nice lady pours some. But with a husband in medical school where every penny counts. And there is the fact that taking a crying baby out to a nice romantic relaxing restaurant is now less enjoyable. My life has made a quick left turn and the only choice is:  

It is time for this stay at home mom

 to learn 

the art of cooking!

 

    For the past couple weeks I have been experimenting and have learned a little secret that has made all the difference for me: It isn't just about eating, but about the creating and the process of the meal. And you have to have music playing. Cooking is a party in my kitchen!!! I caught myself smiling when I looked at my counters and they were a mess because I had used more pots and kitchen appliances than every before! 

This cute quote kind of describes how well I am doing:

"I am a fabulous cook.

 Even the fire alarm is cheering me on." 

Here it goes to more experimenting and yummy foods.

 I hope ;)

I wanted a place to gather my recipes, so here goes the blogging!
