There are many things I love about being in grad school - learning incredible information, having stellar professors, seeing Jordyn Gehret every single day. But the one thing that I do not love about grad school is the amount of time it takes away from my ability to blog. I think I am going to have to start blogging once a week on Sunday afternoons. I am sad about this because I enjoy blogging - but when I prioritize based on what I need to do vs. what I want to do...relaxing and blogging come after school. Oh prioritization. This is only for a season though, and what a season this shall be =)
I do need to get to studying....but before that, there is a book I would like to recommend - I think I am going to get it. My friend John and his wife Anne Marie gave this book to a good friend of ours that does not like to cook. The book is The $7 a Meal Healthy Cookbook. It has 301 nutritious, delicious recipes that the whole family will love - all $7.00 and under!!! I am very excited about this book and I look forward to making some recipes from it!
OK, study time.

Mel, Thanks for the comment on my oven roasted potatoes. Here's the thing..Don't beat yourself up because you can't cook. I got married in l966 and couldn't cook either. After being married for 3 or 4 months I answered the door one day and the UPS man had a package for me. When I opened it I found 12 cookbooks from Better Homes and Gardens. It was a small hint from my husband to get creative. Little did he know he created a monster. I read the books from cover to cover and started cooking from them right away. He always said if you can follow a recipe you can cook, but really that is not true. I consider the recipe a road map and if you take a turn off the road you can still get there in the end. I think being able to add your own touch is really the key. My daughter says I am good cook because I know a good recipe when I see it. Well, the monster my husband created has collected more than 2,000 cookbooks and I have read them all. It also got me into the food world. I have edited a fund raising cookbook that raised $100,000, catered, taught cooking classes for 20 years in gourmet food stores,had a local TV cooking show for 8 years. All in all....when first married I could not cook either. Practice makes perfect. I applaud you for giving it your best shot and browseing the food blogs is a very good way. There are so many good ones out there. I plan to keep the recipes coming. Let's keep in touch...you wrote my first comment. THANK YOU Mayby email would be a good way to stay in touch. I am at marianne.j@suddenlink.net. Now, I am going to go have a look at your blog!
