Getting started....

Ok, let's see how well this goes. I told myself I would never get into blogging or tweeting!



Since graduating college I have started to enjoy cooking A LOT! I love finding new recipes to try. So as I find and try new recipes I will post on here for you guys to try and let you know which ones I would not recommend! Most of my recipes come from online websites with a little tweaking of my own.



**NEW FEATURE** At the bottom of each recipe there is a place where you can rate the recipe! Let me know if you just liked it, loved it or thought it was just ok. No hard feelings! Promise :-)





Enjoy!

10 Crockpot Freezer Meals under $100

We bought everything to make these 10 meals yesterday and must say, we are greatly impressed at the quantity of it all for the price.  I hope the meals turn out good because this would be great for expecting mothers or just to have a meal on hand ready to go in the crock pot.  See the link to print out the grocery list if you are interested!
