Tasty Recipes for a Busy Household
Hi all,
My name is Melanie and I have started this blog as form of motivation to develop my cooking skills. I am 27 years old, recently married and am now living with my husband in the US. I come from a very traditional family where the women of the household are amazing cooks — it just comes naturally to them!
I really enjoy food — especially the eating part! I like cooking too and my food is tasty and edible (most of the time). However, I want to become more creative and venture outside the handful of dishes that I am “comfortable” with. Plus when cooking for others, I want to be able to have a number of recipes that I can whip up confidently — scrambling through 100’s of recipes the night before, praying that it will turn out on the day doesn’t usually pan out well.
I work full time and like many have errands to complete at the end of the day. Sometimes it’s hard to find the motivation and energy to cook something other than the familiar four dishes at the end of a long, busy day!
So I am going to challenge myself — I am going to cook at least one new recipe a week and post about the experience (positives/negatives/tips and tricks/timing etc.) I am going to try a variety of dinners and desserts which will hopefully build a repertoire of great recipes that can be used for any event — whether it be for a weeknight dinner for two, a backyard BBQ with friends or even hosting guests for dinner.
Can’t wait to get started!
