“Where does this highway go to?” Look at me, I’m blogging! It has taken me more time than I’d like to admit to write this first post.  When I was a kid, I used to get a stack of notebook paper, staple the pages together, and write a title on the first page.  Then I’d stare at my new “book” not knowing what I was going to say.  I knew that I had something to say, but for some reason, I was always too scared to write something in those pages and I’d end up putting the little book into a drawer until another inspiration or whim caused me to take it back out, tear off the first page and re-title it.

“A Life You Make” is my modern version of that little stack of notebook paper, but hopefully, I won’t be too afraid to write something in it! I really want to use this as a way to both catalogue and share my recipes and learning experiences with my friends.  I didn’t go to culinary school and I’m not a chef.  I’m just a working chick who loves to cook and entertain and eat delicious food!  My goal is to make healthy, memorable, beautiful food and hopefully still be able to fit into my pants at the end of the day.   I believe that life is what you make it and every day is an opportunity to make something yummy!
