Beginning....

I just wanted to start with who I am and why I am doing this. My name is Sara and I love to cook. I am always trying to try new things to create. I look at recipes and I will try them and adjust them to what tastes I like. I have been cooking different things since I was 12 maybe even before that. I always watched my mom cook for our family growing up and wanted to be just like her. I wanted to be the kind of mom that you wanted to be at their house cause you knew that mom would have something good to eat. I know that budgets have to be considered so I do try to make things that you don't have to spend a fortune on. I hope that this can help others to try new things and if you have questions feel free to ask. I am starting this because a friend of mine asked me to. I am cooking all the time and she wants easy recipes. I love easy recipes they work wonders for me and the busy schedule I have with my kids. I love making treats also so if there are more treats then anything else I am sorry for that. I love making them and then having one or maybe two and then giving the rest of them away! ha ha ha my neighbors love me cause I am always giving them something sweet.

I will try posting pictures of how things are looking when I am making them. For me pictures help me to make sure that I am doing it right. Yesterday I tried making a mint brownie and there was a question to whether the recipe was right. Well I was wrong and the brownie was really dry. Everything that I make doesn't always turn out right, but I keep trying till I get it right or where my husband likes it! I also broke 2 mixers in the last 3 weeks. I just ordered a new on so right now I am using a hand mixer. I won't be doing breads till I am able to get my new mixer. I will be posting things that are easy to do by hand or with a hand mixer. I love using the mixer, but I know that not everyone has one.

Also if anyone has fun recipes please post and share with everyone. I would love to try new things and see how they work and how my family likes them. I love trying new things.

Tomorrow I am going to be making a Peanut Butter Bar. I don't know if anyone els' school had Peanut Butter Bars at lunch, but mine did and they were the best thing ever. I found the recipe and this is what I am going to be sharing with you. I will post the recipe and the steps that I am taking with making them. I hope this is of help to someone or anyone.....
