Inspiration

As I head back to school for another year--my sixth--I'm in search of inspiration. Anything that inspires me to try something new is my focus.

Lately, money has been tight so I've started to do more cooking at home and I'm quickly tiring of the same old ordinary recipes I'm comfortable with. Obviously there's nothing wrong with barbequed chicken or pork, but I'm looking for variety these days!

So, in the spirit of the movie Julie and Julia I've decided to cook my way through some (probably not all) of the dishes I find on various blogs, including those of some friends and family, as well as branch out and try some new dishes I discover elsewhere. Who knows? Maybe I'll start inventing dishes of my own.

If you have any suggestions for dishes that I just must try, please let me know.

  1. I love that you are blogging. Here is a link to a crock pot blog I enjoy... this lady made somehing in a crock pot for a year and blogged about it. She is putting out a cookbook, and was featured on Rachel Ray. I haven't tried many recipes myself, but it is a good resource and who doesn't love the crock pot?
