Another New Year

Well another year has come and gone and I still stand by this resolution being one of the best I've ever made. It has completely transformed me from someone who scoffed at the mere idea of having to cook, bake, or even prepare something in the kitchen to someone who requests kitchen gadgets and appliances as gifts. Despite the lack of recent posts, I was a busy girl in the kitchen all through out 2011 and plan to continue through 2012 and the rest of my life, really.

That said, the following posts are the recipes I've made over 2011 and links to where they came from or were inspired from. Moving into a New Year I am going to transition to a tumblr site where I can more easily keep track of and share my recipes.
