I'm back!!!

It is August...of 2012. Wow time flies. My last post was in December and I feel like I owe it to myself and anyone who has followed me to explain where I have been. This blog was designed to be an aide to the cookbook that someday will be published. It's not just a desire, but a legitimate goal and I complete everything I set out to do. I spent the last four years as a single parent and worked full time, all while completing my BA in Psychology, MS in Psychology, and working hours upon hours of overtime to make ends meet. This blog and cookbook

Let's talk about life changes.  In the past eight months I have moved, worked a LOT of hours, cut some excessive baggage from my life, had some pretty significant health concerns, and started a new relationship with someone I have known most my life. Time for a cookbook or blog in there? Not so much.

I know I mentioned in a previous post that when I am feeling down I do not cook or create. This past week I have gotten back into the swing of things and have had desire to start creating again. That's a sign for me that I have gotten back on track. I made a pot of my homemade chicken soup and it came out well. And I didn't manage to burn myself with splashed fatty broth. That's a story for another day, complete with pictures. I also managed to put together my very first tomato sauce, from scratch.. It pulls my brain in a different direction and I lost my focus from the daily stressors in life. When I'm in the kitchen my focus is making the food as well as I can.


I'm hoping this particular blog entry is the start of something regular again. So, enjoy! Please follow and comment at will.
