I LOVE to cook. Reading recipes, planning menus and meals, shopping for groceries, chopping, measuring, stirring and even dish washing make up the top of my list of favorite passtimes. I am hoping this blog will be a place that I can simply catalogue what I am making each week, whether or not we liked it, and any special notes on ways I have modified the recipes I am using.
First of all, I am definitely a planner. I try to sit down every week on Thursday or Friday nights and plan out each meal for the coming week. I look through cookbooks, magazines, and websites to find a mixture of oldie, but goodies, as well as a few new things to try. I write down everything I plan to cook, and when I plan to cook it. Then I make my list. I love shopping for food. Wandering the aisles of the supermarket, or better yet, the Farmer's Market (which is fantastic here in CoMO) is so relaxing for me.
I rarely see cooking as a chore. The process of putting together and then serving a meal to loved ones is something that I think should be cherished. As silly as it sounds, it's one way I show people how much I love them. Plus, we all usually get a pretty good meal out of it!
