The Beginning

The sole function of this blog is to record the food I've made. I'm single and allergic to milk products, so everything here is generally dairy free and tailored to my individual taste. Despite being single, I always make enough for at least three normal people (my ex ate like three normal people so it's a surprise I survived that relationship). Cooking for one is hard, and I am now a firm believer in leftovers because I am poor and pretty much hate cooking. No, I'm not joking, I hate to cook, but if I don't want to have my guts explode daily I have to cook for myself. Frozen food is gross. 

Another note is that I am part of a brunch group, so it is likely that I will post every Sunday things that I've made. I get the vast majority of my recipes off of pinterest or recipe sites, but I don't like following directions so I always tweak them. That's why I can't just have a pinterest account and be done with it, I want to record how I improved or ruined the recipes so I can do it again. Yes, I will post my failures as well because I don't want anyone to make the same mistakes I have. I also have permission from another member of my brunch group to post her recipes and what I thought of them. She's a vegetarian, so you can see already how interesting my group is. Anyway, she has this crazy knack for just putting together a bunch of ingredients that I would never imagine throwing together and making it work. Pretty much if I could have her feed me for the rest of my life, I would, and yet I love meat. The point is, some of my recipes will be vegan on account of her being vegetarian and my being allergic to milk products, but with most of these recipes you can switch to milk products, add some meat, and get on with your life. 

A final thing to say is that I am lazy and don't have much experience with cooking. For that reason, most of my recipes will be fairly simple (but generally delicious). Also, I follow my mom's mantra: add (blank) until it looks good. I can't tell you exactly how much of this or that I add usually, but I will make a solid attempt for the sake of future me to record it as best as I can. Because of my lack of experience with cooking, I'm not great with herbs and spices. I know what I like, but I rarely experiment outside of that field because I am not sure what most herbs and spices taste like individually, or how they will go with what else I put in. So if you have suggestions, let me know. Otherwise, me and garlic salt will keep on trucking. Okay, now it's time to add my first recipe.
