The Lone Culinary Crusader

Okay, so maybe I'm not alone. I'm sure there are lots of people out there who are absolutely, positively, disgustingly BORED with what they make for their families to eat. Right?

This is me, trying to be a home-cooking hero. I want to incorporate things we haven't eaten before. I want to try new cooking styles. I want my hubby and kiddo to say "I don't know what you did to this, but it's awesome!"

I will warn you up front. I am a big time user of adjectives. Sometimes when I say them they don't even make gramattical sense. Ever heard someone say "Deliciously awesome?" I can promise you will see many comparable phrases appear on your screen. (Who are you, by the way? Is anyone even going to read this?)

I wish I had thought to create this eons ago, as I have tried countless "new" recipes and have made success stories out of very few. For now, you'll just have to be content with my work from here on. I can't promise the stories will always be pretty or even edible, but I do promise to try! Here are things I've learned so far in my crusades:
  • Paula Deen rocks ... if you want to weigh 400 lbs. My goal is to learn to make some of her dishes on a lighter scale.
  • If you're going to make a new pasta dish ... try whole wheat. With sauce, you'll hardly notice a difference, and if you're going to do pasta, you might as well try to make it as healthy as possible.
  • Vegatables are amazing! You can do SO much with them ... like substitute them for other starchy foods! Who knew??
  • I'm a novice on the grill. I don't even know how to start it. No joke.
So, off I go. Stay tuned!

Sweet (and savory!) wishes,
Sarah
