What's Cooking at the Smiths: Meals Past

What has been cooking at the Smith house lately you ask? Well, let me tell you. I got the idea today to start a blog solely dedicated to just that subject. Other people may or may not be interested in what I cook for dinner, but I would like to use the blog as a kind of "scrapbook" to remember all of the meals I try out, if nothing else! I want to post recipes and directions for the meals that are a hit.

You see, from the time I was able to "help" my mom with dinner the idea of cooking appealed to me. I loved to help her make the macaroni and cheese {Kraft, that is}, scalloped potatoes {out of a box}, canned vegetables with a little salt and pepper for seasoning, etc. The older I got the less I helped her in the kitchen, but the story does not stop there. I eventually grew up, went off to college, and met the man of my dreams. As the saying goes, "The way to a man's heart is through is stomach...!" Well, when I met Britt and we both moved out of the dorms and into apartments I started cooking for us. We would get a craving for something tasty and then look for a recipe to make. I would cook the recipe and Britt always went back for seconds; it never failed. My love for cooking grew, but did not peak in college. Once we graduated I actually stopped cooking yummy recipes. I lived in Auburn by myself and the only thing I cooked was baked chicken, squash, and green beans. Literally. Every single night. That could be why my waste line was a bit trimmer, too, ha! After we got married I started making all kinds of recipes for us. I can thank Pinterest for a lot of the recipes I have tried! Now my love for cooking continues to grow. Stay tuned to see what's been for dinner recently!

Until then here are some pictures of meals past!
