I Know... I Know...

Yes, I misspelled the word "kitchen" in my blog title. Okay... I misspelled the word "experiments" as well! I am fully aware of that and, while I am generally a snob when it comes to correct spelling and grammar in the printed word, I must admit that in this case, I think it fits. First, because the domain name "kitchenexperiments" was already taken. Second, because, just like the appeared mishaps in my attempt at spelling, you may be able to witness many other mishaps on this 'hopefully' fun, regular, adventurous-in-the-kitchen blog!


I started this new year with two plans to carry out in my kitchen, one of the favorite rooms in our home. The first was an agreed resolution with my hubby that we would start back on our eating healthy, working out regularly regime. It's a more difficult way to live, to be sure, but once we get past those first two weeks, we always suddenly wake up to the fact that we're feeling pretty darn good! Thankfully for me, my partner has an iron will that he uses to throw away the bad-for-you junk food while I whimper in the corner.

The second plan I adopted was of my own doing. Looking back on 2011 I realized that I have a huge repertoire of somewhere around fifteen to twenty-something main dish items that I rotate through when preparing supper. And of those fifteen to twenty-something there are, of course, my favorite few that get served a lot. Oh sure, I get the bug to make something new every once in a while, but time usually ends up demanding that I make a well-known dish instead of searching, studying, and shopping for a new one. And if I do end up making something new... it's usually a dessert. But not any more! This year is going to be different, frequented with afternoons of browsing online cooking websites and trips to the library for new cookbooks. The goal is to make a new-to-me, healthy, main course dish at least once every week. Of course, the whole point of this blog is to write about each recipe I try and share it with you, along with some iPhone pics of the finished product! 

Here's to good food, good fun, and good laughs as I try to widen my kitchIN horizons and let you join in the fun! :)
