Ketchup or Catch Up

However you say it, I'm in need of both. Welcome to the world of blogging! I'm talking to myself by the way. I feel the need to constantly remind myself that every dish I make is worth blogging about, regardless if it turns out edible or not. Most of the time it is....I swear. Again, talking to myself.

Sigh, I digress. Okay....*deep breaths* HELLO READERS.

After much debate on which recipe I wanted to share I've decided to quickly bring you up to speed on the progression of past dishes. I've slowly worked my way from pulling dinner meals out of my butt (caution: do not try and visualize this image) to adopting others' recipes and simply adding my distinct twist. Oh, and by the way, I've started baking. Can you believe it? The fat kid is really bursting out of me now! I mean, I went from being the uber rolley poley, to a slim jim (goddamn puberty and boys) and then back around, inching my way (literally), into a potato bug. What can I say, I love food and I LOVE homemade food.
