Domesticity On A Dime!

After sampling some of the more well-known food blogs and trying some new recipes, I have begun to think  starting my own, cost conscious, as well as time conscious food blog.  I love to cook.  That’s an understatement. I ADORE cooking.  I love the way it fills the house with unparalleled aroma and makes a house into a home.  In general I am not a “pinch of this dash of that” kind of girl.  For the most part I need a recipe to follow or at least as a jumping off point.  I tend to like to tweak and twist classics.  I am not afraid of butter and cream and oil and yes, even sometimes grease.  I love to make things from scratch the way our mothers and grandmothers did.  I love dying arts.  I have recently taught myself several as a way to preserve our heritage as modern people, as well as compare the final result to store-bought comparables.  Doing things yourself really gives you a sense of pride and accomplishment that you can’t get anywhere else.  I hope, with this blog, updated whenever I have inspiration to do so, will help a few people discover my love for cooking and food for themselves, and inspire them to try things that they may not otherwise have tried.  I do not use expensive ingredients, complicated recipes, or fancy mustards.  My food is home made from stuff in my home!  That’s the way dinner usually goes here.  Walk into kitchen. Open fridge, Open freezer, Open cabinets. Make something from what’s already there!  You can do anything I do.  I promise.  Bon apetit everyone, and be fearless!!
