This is not a cooking blog

I'm a SAHM to be. I think cooking is a big part of it, as is being efficient with shopping and saving time and money. For that reason, I'm *trying* to get my act together before Lovebug arrives.

A part of that is planning weekly meals. I gave it a shot a few months back, but I was still not too good at it, mainly cause I found recipes and tried to shop for them, but inevitably I wouldn't be able to find an ingredient, that particular ingredient wasn't particularly cheap, or I would not feel like cooking that after all. Or worse, I would, but wouldn't be happy with the result.

I just wasn't very organized, and I also tried to do too much too soon. By this I mean I would literally have 3-4 new meals in a week, and who wants to try to cook something new every day of the week? I would end up making something else, or giving up and just agree to get take out or frozen pizza.

Well, I'm here to succeed this time around. I definitely need a way to organize those recipes I want to try, the old time favorites, and I need it all in one place. Hence, this blog was born. It's my recipe box. Sure, maybe I'll feel adventurous and share my own recipes, give reviews on recipes I make, post pictures of my successes and failures in the kitchen, but mainly, it's so I can find those recipes quickly when I need them.

If you're willing to come along for the ride, I hope you enjoy it. And I hope you find my recipe box helpful when you're looking for a new dinner idea.
