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.
