Cooking like a Wife

          As I have transitioned from college student to newlywed, my desire to cook well and practically has been growing. My inspiration to cook and my inspirations for special dishes usually come from specific places including my family, my favorite restaurants, my first job, and my memorable travels. Over the years, I have gathered, tweaked, and developed recipes for meals and desserts that almost always put a smile on my family's faces as well as a warmth in their bellies. As I begin this blog, I am considering what to emphasize and how to begin. At the threshold, I have several goals in mind:

     (1) To create a reference and catalog of all my favorite dishes.

     (2) To develop a list of key ingredients to always keep on hand.

     (3) To explain my favorite kitchen tools and gadgets.

     (4) To reminisce on happy memories and sources of inspiration.

     (5) To connect with YOU! 

          I hope you find my blog helpful, inspirational, and tasty! As I sign off my first post of many, I will leave you with a quote from Mr. Robert Frost. He said, "There is one thing more exasperating than a wife who can cook and won't, and that's a wife who can't cook and will." I aim to be neither.

God bless you and your food!
