MY Start

I recommend the movie Julie and Julia. This movie is what inspired me to do this challenge that I am about to embark on in 2011. The movie is about a woman turning 30 who decided to cook every recipe in one of Julia Childs french cookbook. The woman puts her triumph and "meltdowns" in her blog for the world to see. This fantastic movie made me want to set out and do the same. This year I have challenged myself to make a new Rachael Ray recipe each week. I currently own 2 of her cookbooks and plan to start making recipes from these cookbooks. I will start writing about what I am cooking and how I do it. I will post difficulties that I run into and my critics (aka husband) opinions. I am a working mother of 2 so unlike the movie I will be sure not to set the bar quite as high. My goal this year is to make a new recipe each week and write about it. In my blogs I hope to inspire new cooks all around that cooking is a great thing and it connects you with people in a way you never thought possible. I have asked my husband to be brutally honest with me when eating my recipes as they will serve a vital roll in my blogs. Reading my blogs will help you understand the financials behind the cooking and also the trials and tribulations that go into it as well. Many women out there are full time mothers and professionals that only wish to provide a good wholesome meal without taking up an ungodly amount of time and also be the best mother they can be. So with that being said... You will also get to see what I am going through while cooking and what I have learned through this adventure. Stay tuned. As this is gonna be a fun year.
