Ever, AJ

First of all, I can't believe this is my FIRST post of this new year! Blog, I am so sorry for neglecting you for too long! So many new things happened in 2009 and, I'm sure, many more will in 2010...but that's for a different time...

This evening my Mom and I have been spending our spare time watching back to back episodes of "House Hunters" and "House Hunters International" on HGTV...it makes me so excited to search for my own home someday (soon?) with my man! And to decorate the house to reflect who we are, oh that will be just so delightful! 

We have also been watching a couple shows on the Food Network Channel, for example, one we watched was called..."5 Ingredient Fix"...I had never seen it before, but after watching one episode, my mom and I set is as a series recording on our DVR. Not to say the host of the show doesn't bug me a little, but her ideas make me excited to cook! I must admit, when my sister got married and fell in love with Food Network Channel, I did not share the love. I was bored watching any show on the network...but out of the blue I have grown to enjoy the network and it makes me so excited for my own kitchen and recipes that I can share with my friends and family! 

All this brings me to my new idea...if you know me at all, I tend to think of a brilliant idea, but to follow through with the idea and keep it up, usually doesn't last long. But this one is dedicated to my future hubby, so this will not be forgotten and unfinished...besides, how can you ever finish a Recipe Book?! That's right...I have started my very own, as I call it, "My little, BIG Recipe Book...". I am SO excited to write down all my favorite recipes my mom and my sister make as of now. And I'm also excited to learn new tricks and new ingredients from the the Food Nework! 

So...to my TBA Husband, this book is dedicated to you and I can't wait to cook and bake "the favs" for you!
