Favorite Food Blog...

I've been trying to make dinner a little more frequently than once a week. I know, even Tyler is impressed. The problem is that I get bored easily. Tacos? Boring. Spaghetti? Had it a million times. So unless it is something really tasty, I'm usually not very interested in making it. In an attempt to find "fun" recipes, my cupboard is full of recipe books. Sure, I use them periodically, but not enough to justify buying them, that's for sure.

A few months ago I found this food blog. I've mentioned it before, but you see, if I mention it again I get my name entered in a drawing. But seriously, it is my new favorite place for recipes. And my favorite part is that the foods are not weird. But they're not boring, either. They take everyday foods and spice 'em up, or put a new twist on them. My favorite part is that most of their stuff is made from scratch, but the recipes aren't difficult or overly time consuming. I made these delicious fajitas and they were so yummy. Their French Dip Sandwich is Tyler's absolute favorite. I usually don't even like French Dip anything and it is one of my favorite sandwiches. Don't tell Tyler that it is super easy because I get major brownie points every time I make it for him-- he thinks I slave away for hours!! And my new favorite is their BBQ Pizza! For all of you grillers, it's cooked on the BBQ so it has a really good flavor.

Thanks to the girls over at Our Best Bites I am actually a little motivated to cook. So, go visit their food blog and even try a recipe or two. You won't be disappointed!

P.S. I've also made their Brazilian Lemonade, and yes, it is just like Tacanos'. Make sure you double the recipe or everyone will be disappointed. I've also made their Taco Chicken, Chipotle Chicken Taco Salad, Breadsticks, Cheesecake Tarts, and more. It is all so good.

Yea! You know me when it comes to cooking...I don't. I think I make dinner 3 times a month. I need to do better, but like you I get bored and I never use the cookbooks I have. I'll check this site out. Maybe I'll get motivated to cook 5 times a month. Peter wouldn't know what to do with himself.

Hey Meagan, thanks for the shout out! You have such an adorable little family.

And...I totally want your lettuce wrap recipe! Will you email it to me? I've tried a couple that have been good, but not great, ya know? So I've been on the lookout "the one" lol. I'd love to try yours!

So I've been looking up some recipes from your favorite site to start cooking! Who would have though you're little sister was going to be cooking.. anyways I guess before I am able to start making half of them I need to steal some of moms spices and food storage, lets face it..I'm a poor starving college student now! I"m going to be mooching off even more than before.

I'll get some pictures posted of my place soon..its a mess right now trying to get everything together. They haven't even came to clean the carpets downstairs yet, so everything is thrown in our kitchen! Anyways, I got a job! I'll have to tell you all about it when I see you this week, I can't wait for Lake Powell!!!

So, I too have looked at this blog. Wendi told me about it and I have been making a few of their recipes. Try the Italian Burger. It is really good and Travis loved it!

Hey Meagan-
Jacque just let me know that she will be here visiting soon and we thought it would be fun to get everyone together. She says that Wed. the 13th or Sat. the 16th would be the best. Would you be able to come and if so what night would work best for you?
