If I'm going to follow so many food blogs, one of them may as well be my own

I have been following food blogs for a long enough time to know that it can't be easy.  Consistently making the time to try new recipes, remembering to document the process, and then creating a blog post to review the experience are big responsibilities.  However, my loyalty to a few of these blogs (linked to the right) has also provided a lot of inspiration to try new things, and while the culinary photography will likely leave something to be desired, I thought this might be a good way to share the recipes I try with friends and family while still giving myself the opportunity to write.  Two birds, meet this one stone.

Recently I started decorating cakes and since that began, many people have said I should start a blog.  This chatter increased the more I started trying new recipes, both baking and otherwise, and so I'm finally giving in to the peer pressure.  Next let's make plans to jump off a bridge, shall we? 

So in a word, welcome.  I'm going to post about all kinds of culinary endeavors, though baking will probably be a primary focus.  I'm not big on creating my own recipes, so most of what you will see is what I try from searching various sources on the internet.  My final promise here is that when I recap my experience in the blog post, I will try to skip over most of the swearing.  Key word being "try".

P.S. For those of you who know me, you also know that I am a huge Pittsburgh Steelers fan.  Hence the reason I chose the background I did for this blog.  That was not an accident.  I thought you should know.
