January flew by! It was great getting back into a routine after so much time off from school and work. I think my daughter is so happy to be back at school. As for me, January has been an exciting and busy month. I have decided to buckle down and focus on writing an e-book for you all because you have been asking me for it. It will include tips and techniques on various cooking methods as well as quite a few of my recipes. It should be a great resource for anyone looking to spend more time in the kitchen experimenting with real homemade cooking! Please be patient with me while I am focusing on the ebook as I won’t have as much time to blog. I will keep you entertained with some great weekly giveaways and some guest blog posts from some new up and coming blogs I have sniffed out. If you are excited to hear more news about the e-book before anyone else, please keep in touch by signing up for my newsletter because I am going to start sending out a weekly update with some links to great basic recipes and also keep you in the loop on what is going on with my ebook!
