Today, I started a blog.

I was watching t.v. the other day, and happened to catch the cooking show of a woman who was a wife, a mother, a photographer, a blogger, and so on and so on. Basically, she was just a mom who cooked for her family. She cooks. I cook. I said something along the lines of "I could blog about cooking" to my little one. Later, she called the middle one.  The next morning, texts with ideas for blog names came scrolling across my phone. I texted the big one, and asked her what she thought. I've been a wife and a mom who has cooked for my family for the last 27 years. She said to go for it. I tucked it away, thinking, "Yeah, I could do that". Lo and behold, the next day, middle sends me my very own blog.


My husband and I took turns cooking while the kids were growing up.  Be it after practice, or a game, or a meet, we would take turns eating around their schedules so they always had someone to talk to. It was our unwritten rule. But now, we are empty nesters. Just me and the best-est good one. We still cook, but we cook differently.


The premise of my blog is simple. Empty nesters who don't hit the early bird specials. We cook. Sometimes it's COOKING, and other times it's just cooking. Regardless, I have decided to share my stories and my recipes. Eleanor Roosevelt said, "Do one thing every day that scares you."
