In this first post . . . . . let me explain . . . . .

In this first post I am going to explain my cooking style and just visit for a while. I first off want to say that I owe my decision to blog to an old high school friend that I recently reconnected with. She is a Christian Blogger with an excellent blog - Truth in the Morning - which is very good and very spiritural. She also has a cooking blog called - Food Tweaked A Bit. So check out her blogs and sign in as a follower. I think you will enjoy them. I hope she does not think I am copying her - only that I was inspired by her.

When I first started thinking about creating a blog - I hesitated because I thought - Okay, I am not that interesting of a person so what in the world could I write about that other people might find interesting. My life is pretty simple (okay - downright boring) but I do need to eat so I learned to cook and I feel like I learned it pretty well. Of course, AH (remember him - my significant other) has been my best guinea pig (clear throat) - fan.

I like to call myself the "One Dish Queen", If it can be fixed simply and in one pot - I am so there. I like to take box dinners and add to them so that they taste like an original creation ! My favorite friend is Ro-Tel Tomatoes (of course, the hot variety !). AH and I like our food spicy so I love cooking with hot peppers of all kinds. I like to grow my own and usually have a good enough harvest from my home garden each week to do just that.

I recently started trying to "healthy" my recipes and also practice portion control. Partly because I wanted to lose some weight but also because my doctor said to ! So here's to eating more fruits and vegetables. It is working - I have lost weight and my health is doing better.
