Just Call Me Betty Crocker...Or Something Like That



OK, I'll admit it. I've never really been a cooking goddess. I don't have time for it. I don't have the energy for it. Heck, I don't even have the utensils for it (Hayden hoards and lines up everything he can get his hands on...gotta love autism). But recently, after a Come To Jesus moment, I realized I do have the finances for it. We've GOT to stop dining out. I'm forcing myself to throw on the pinny and become domestic. Even if it kills me.

While I've never been a food blog follower, I'm in love with this blog. Finding her makes me realize the hours of aimlessly searching the internet really are worth it. Thank you, AT&T high speed internet.

Her recipes seem easy. They resemble actual food...nothing I'd have to travel to Thailand to get parts for. I feel like I'm ready. I even organized my recipe box today. I believe I've hit a period of nesting. Next thing you know, I'll take my worries out on the battery and light bulb cabinet (don't judge...my husband needs therapy for hoarding batteries and bulbs). Until then, I'm off to find some recipes to maim.

  9. Thanks for visiting my blog! I wanted to stop by and visit and when i looked at your profile... noticed you are far to familiar with Autism... I too am an Autism mom. My son was diagnosed at about 2 1/2... but I have to tell you he is what appears to be fully recovered.. we have issues still although they are minor, nothing like before and he sleeps with weighted blanket, but regular classes, has friends, plays sports, he does still go to speech therapy but only in group and every other week, I will keep you and your beautiful son in my prayers and I am now a follower, your blog is great!!!

  10. I hear you. The first cake I ever baked boiled (oatmeal cake--forgot the flower) and the second one was nicknamed the boi-oing cake (because of what happened to the knife when you tried to slice it). My husband calls me the anti-Martha Stewart and I can't get mad at him because he is right! Unfortunately, because my daughter is GF/CF, I have to cook.

    Call me Betty Crockpot. My mother gave me a big slow cooker and I like the idea of dumping everything into it and forgetting about it. That is why my cooking is so bad in the first place. I've done a couple of recipes from this slow cooker site that has some gf/cf recipes. The lemon chicken is addictive!
