confession about the pw



i tried to resist, i really did. My mother tried and tried to get me to check out this blog, but i wouldn't because i thought it would be just like every other cooking blog i have come across.
i was wrong
i cant believe i waited this long, but now its official i, like the millions of other followers out there, have completely fallen for the Pioneer Woman.
Oh Ree how you have completed my life
i have had a desire to meal plan for the longest time and once i became a stay at home mommy i thought "hey now i will have the time to figure things out" little did i know i had just been employed by the most demanding of the sort, Oliver. i sit down with a blank page and just don't understand where to start... yes, i am pleading for any advice or direction on how to do a meal plan!
i grew up in a home with magnificent culinary magicians. i was spoiled by plain old good food. when time was short my parents would combine their genius and my belly would always be full and happy!
Unfortunately, Curtis has not had this luxury. There have been many nights of hamburger helper, grilled cheese, bean and cheese burritos and lasagna. occasionally i would feel adventurous and the meal would turn out just ok.
and then i caved, and i couldn't have been more happier about it. MOM YOU WERE RIGHT!
i find myself making many Pioneer Woman recipes and they turn out oh so tasty. and yes i have a happy belly once again. She makes cooking simple and fun. Even the most complex recipes. She takes you step by step, with PICTURES! so you cant go astray and to top it all off she is such a great writer and adds a lot of humor to her posts.
if you need an intervention in your cooking habits, ok actually not just cooking she does everything cooking, gardening, photography, homeschooling and i'm sure much more, anyways check her out

or you can refuse for now but trust me, you will/should cave eventually and will be so happy you did!
