So It Begins

So It Begins
This is a basic recipe blog of things I have cooked, liked, and will probably cook again. If I put my recipes here, then when I have my "what Im I going to cook for dinner tonigt?" moment and I come up blank I can revert back to this. Im not a big fan of recipe books-well I like to have them but forget what Ive tried and if its good or not. So I think this will be easier. Plus Kaylee, Bren, and I wanted a way to share recipes without acctually contacting each other so Im going to have to figure out how to do the team members so they can make posts too. If you, dear reader, would also like to contribe (and I do hope you do) feel free to leave a comment and Ill add you too. Oh and by the way- my recipes will most likely be basic, cheap, and easy. To be perfectly honest I dont like to cook at all so this should be interesting. Maybe Ill even rate the recipes on cheapness, tastyness, and fastness hmmmmmm.
