New Blog

My sister-in-law's said that we should post what recipes we use so that we could all get new ideas. I thought this was a fun idea, so here goes. I don't know if this will help anyone, the type of food that I usually make is pretty basic stuff. It may; however, give you some ideas of different things that you can make on a monthly basis. I really enjoy cooking, the only problem is that I also enjoy the eating part as well. I do go to Weight Watchers and so on any recipes that I know the point values, I will share those as well.
