Gotta Start Somewhere...

Crispy lettuce.

Salty fries.

Is your mouth watering yet?

When I began thinking about topics for my new blog, I wanted to be able to talk about something that I love and where I can challenge myself to do something new. As many of us do, I have a love of food. I love going out to eat while having a great time with family and friends.

When I am at home I am at most a decent cook. I am no Julia Child, but I would love to be able make some amazing appetizers, entrees and desserts that you see on the cooking shows and in restaurants.

So when I got home today, I wanted to do a few things.

1. Relax
2. Not do any homework
3. Relax
4. Think about a meal that I could make that was simple
5. Make it

I decided that grilling looks easy so I started there. I grilled some chicken steaks, threw together a salad and made some creamy buttered noodles. I paired it with some Pinot Noir and sat down to my meal. Overall, it tasted good and was not too heavy or light of a meal.

I must have been feeling overly ambitious because then I wanted dessert. As I scrolled through Pinterest I saw a cream cheese crumb cake that looked SO GOOD. Luckily I had all the ingredients and could begin creating my masterpiece. 

After I made a large mess in the kitchen, I pulled my delicious smelling cake from the oven.  My first bite was a little dry and I was bummed and disappointed. But as I got closer to the middle it was soft and delicious! YAY! I would say this is a step in the right direction.

As I blog more in the future, please add some amazing meals you made, ate while you were out or a fun drink you had along the way!

Bon appétit!
