Introduction

My first post is going to serve as an introduction. Some big things happened in my life recently. I had a baby, got married and moved across the country. I left my full time job to be a stay home wife and mother. I love what I do. Once we moved I started cooking dinner on a regular basis. When we first brought our daughter home I was living on oatmeal and lunchables! I started researching recipes, joined a cooking community, bought my own cook book to save my favorites, and joined a cook book club! My plan is to bring you our favorite dinner recipes. I love to BAKE so I'll bring some cupcake, cookies and goodies recipes as well.

I'm currently researching healthier lifestyle recipes. My husband and I are ready to add another baby to our family. We decided that we want to start trying next summer. Before I can do this I need to get into a healthier lifestyle. I still have 8lbs of baby weight to lose from my first pregnancy and ideally I would like to be a little bit lighter than that before I start over with another baby. I'm very proud that since I gave birth to my daughter I've lost a total of 38lbs! Another 25lbs would be wonderful!


As a stay at home Mom I do my part to try to save us money. I coupon, and try to find cash back, discounts and other savings. I'll do my best to share with you what I can. I'm not a crazy couponer that will itemize all the coupons against the weekly circulars.


I look forward to cooking with everyone! I welcome your feedback, suggestions, requests and positive encouragement! My next post will be my first dinner recipe with pictures and cooking instructions! Look for Cheesey Chicken & Rice Caserole later tonight!
