Hello and welcome!

I went a little fancy with the menu design this week.  I went to school for Graphic Design but ended up being a blogger and sometimes being a blogger requires a little bit of Graphic Design skill and that worked out well. 🙂 When I plan my dinners for the week it will usually be whatever it is I'm craving, a blog post recipe that needs to be updated, or a new blog post. Cravings hit hard sometimes for me and when I really want something and I don't have it in my kitchen, I'll write it down on my list so that I can get it the next time I go grocery shopping. It really works. That is one part about being an adult and living alone that is fun for me.
