So yeah, it has been forever since that first blog, and each month, then each year that I haven't posted another word I have felt more and more useless as a blogger. I just couldnt seem to get the hang of how it all worked and what should have been so easy to do (after all I type like 140 wpm or something like that) was taking hours upon hours to figure out! Well, there was that AND the fact that I simply had nothing worthwhile to say. Facebook allowed me to get all of my whiney B&Moaning out of my system so really, what was left?
I am thinking, what I could start doing is blog about some of the things I have been dabbeling in lately. I know everyone does that, and we are all oh-so-proud- of our back-to-our-roots movements (nothing is new under the sun!) but someone has to be! If it weren't for all of us these arts would die out, never to be heard from again (and let's be honest some of them should be)!
So my newest foray, besides the fact that I am still learning and broadening my sewing abilities, is into the world of coming up with workable freezer/slowcooker recipes for people (family and friends) who live around me and are much much to busy to surf the web, try them out and see if they work and adapt them as needed for thier families or lifestyles (I.e. vegan, gluten free, other allergens etc etc) So here I am, surging the net and trying to make heads or tails of it all and still come up with workable, easy meals that taste good and that my husband will eat. I am also trying to balance it out with making as much of it homemade as possible, yet knowing when and where to cut the corners. A great example here is my meatloaf recipe. I spent YEARS in search of the perfect meatloaf recipe and I am not exagerating one iota when I state that I have probably tried at somewhere between 30-50 different ones in my quest. I finally came upon what I feel is the perfect balance by pure chance and now, I will not change it even though... yes... it contains.... stove top stuffing. Yep. You read that right. I know, I know... But it MAKES the meatloaf. And if you do not believe me, try my recipe and you will agree. You really will.
Anywhoo... no promises, but my plan as of now is to try and post my successful freezer meals on here along with pics and recipes and shopping lists as I get them.
Lemme know if there is anything you would like me to try to work out.
