I've been inspired

I've been inspired. Hence, the title of this blog. I have had a love for cooking for some time now. Whatever someone wants to eat, I will try to make it. I've tried to be adventurous (Saucy Salmon, homemade boneless buffalo wings, a few of my own creations) and have fun with it. I've thought about culinary school, but don't think I'm cut out for that. So I cook. I watch Food Network all the time. There are at least 5 episodes of something food-related on my DVR at this time. I read cookbooks and cooking magazines. READ them. Not just look for recipes, but actually read what they have to say.

When I saw the previews for the movie "Julie & Julia" I thought "Hey, that would be fun!" Today I actually saw the movie. As it was ending, I was getting choked up. I thought to myself "I wish I could be inspired like Julie was!" And soon, it hit me. I just was.

This blog is my adventure in cooking. I don't know where it's going to take me, but I'm going to have fun with it. I'm not putting a 500 recipes in 365 days limit on myself. Because then what? What happens after that? I have a recipe blog right now, where I put the recipes that I like or want to try. This will be different. It will be more of a story.

I'm so excited and happy to be going on this journey. Thanks for coming along.

*Thank you to Melissa for going to the movie with me!!
