I’ve never really learned how to cook. I’m not completely useless in the kitchen, but I would love to be better. I’m sitting here, my kids are napping, it poured rain all morning so everything outside is wet and I’m snuggled on my couch watching “Julie & Julia.” Now I’m inspired. I want to cook and explore. The kitchen and I need to bond. I want to discover new recipes, recipes that my family can try and hopefully fall in love with. I need variety in my cooking life. Do any of you ever feel the same way?
Tonight I’m cooking a beef brisket with potatoes for dinner. It’s simmer in my crock pot as we speak. It smells delicious! But I need more…. more ideas, more recipes. I need your help. Please! I promise if you leave me an idea or a recipe I will try and cook it. Then I’ll blog about it so others can try it too. So will you help me?

First let me say, I just discovered your blog a few weeks back and find it completely adorable!
I (try) to post a recipe every Friday on my blog and this is one of my favorites…

…and if you are making any "resolutions" next year, you will want to make this dessert this week so you won't feel too guilty for eating the whole pan yourself!

Alissa, I love this idea. After almost 30 years of cooking I find myself in a cooking rut, always making the same things over and over again. I will definitely be checking back to see what new recipes you have found and tried. How exciting!!
