small change: What's for Dinner?

Before the days of nursing school, working as a night shift RN, pursuing continuing education aspirations, and then onto motherhood lived a girl who once enjoyed cooking. Much of this might have been spurred by my newlywedness ambition, and making Nate think he really "married up." Somewhere along the way, however, life kicked into overdrive and my passion for cooking became passionate-less.

Part of this reason might have been living in a home with a kitchen I dreaded (a stove that worked part-time and unpredictably), along with not very much work room to prep. Most of the reasoning was the thought of having one more thing on my plate to think about at the end of the day. So I got lazy.
And then we moved....and THIS is my kitchen!



And guess what? The magic is back. I am a cooking machine. My first week in the kitchen I busted out 5 casseroles and threw them in the freezer. I've never even made a casserole before, but I was on a mission.

Yes, this post might be somewhat inspired by my recent viewing of Julie&Julia and my secret desire to have a successful blog that people actually read. But, none-the-less here it is.

Check out this recipe, it sounds like one I might try.
