New Year, More Posts?

I hate New Years Resolutions. I usually don't even think to make any until after the New Year and by then it seems as though there is no point. Same thing happened this year, and so I have no substantive or well-throughout plans to better myself throughout 2011.

I, surprisingly, have enjoyed my time at home. I've relaxed, slept late, tried to overhaul some of the horrible eating that occurs at my parents' home (fries and chicken wings for breakfast, chips for breakfast and waffles for lunch and dinner -- some of the more incriminating occurrences). Now I think it's time to get back on that blogging tip.

I am heading into this last semester with no meal plan and a goal to overhaul my grocery budget. And so there is lots to look forward to for this new year. I've got more recipes in development, shortcuts for cooking, tips for shopping and menu planning, and more.

On that note, let's hope for more willpower this year and happy new year,!

Turning Mike into a Cook

Mike checking on one of his culinary creations (cheesy bread, I'm sure)

Over the summer, I did all of the cooking. But Mike is taking some of his first forays into the kitchen, in a capacity beyond my hyper-observant and not-so-helpful sous chef.

The End of A Much Needed Vacation

To all of my faithful readers, thank you for inudating me eith emails and comments about the recent lack of posting. I took a much needed vacation, from work, from blogging, and only slightly from cooking. School begins tomorrow, and with that my regular schedule commences. And on that note, here are some posts to look forward to:
