Mealtime Makeover

In efforts to stick to one of my New Year's resolutions of improving or (better yet) USING my culinary skills I signed up for e-mealz. I've never been fond of websites that make you pay for things that you can do on your own but after scouring websites for good recipes that don't have 4 trillions ingredients that require a double boiler, flour sifter, or mandoline, I took a chance at $5 a month to see what this was all about.

Once logged in, I printed out my recipes for the week, along with a detailed grocery list and list of staples for each meal. ALL of the recipes look really good and most important, EEEEEASY! Hopefully, I won't be a disaster in the kitchen. Wish me luck...I'll need it.

Another way I am resolving to cook is investing better cookware. This Monday at 6:30, I am having a pampered chef party (I know, I know- I hate those multi-level marketing parties too..) However, I went to one a couple of months ago and actually enjoyed myself...Maybe it was the wine. :) So any-who, if you are bored Monday and want to come over for free food and of course wine, please stop on by. I will not pressure you to make a purchase or talk you into becoming a "pampered chef consultant"....I promise. I am just excited to kick Eric out of the house..or upstairs with a book, and have some girl time!

Bon appétit!
