Blog This Blog That...A Short Introduction

A Little Hello
Time to get started, I suppose. First off, this probably won't be a daily blog style, more of a post as I can due to my schedule, but hopefully it'll give you a nice taste of the meals and desserts I've happily grown up with. As well as learning the ropes of how to work the blog...Be on the lookout as I'm sure formatting will continue to change.I hope to use this as a place to share some good recipes with others and learn to improve upon my own cooking skills! After all, the best way to learn is by doing, correct? As an Occupational Therapist I will say, it is important to engage in occupations that we find interesting and meaningful to help improve our everyday quality of life! It just so happens, for me, I am interested in cooking/baking, and writing (So kill two birds with one stone here!). With that all said, I welcome you here, and hope you can find a recipe or two that you throughly enjoy (and can put your own spin on). Happy food hunting :)

Baked Ziti

My dad may not like moving away from his staple foods of hearty meat and potatoes, but if you can create a hearty italian dish he will usually enjoy it. I've given you the recipe for spaghetti and meatballs, one that my parents even like, but what other dishes could there be? Well, there is always twice baked spaghetti, but that can get boring. So, what about another pasta dish? My mom has always said go ahead and create! Another favorite dish of ours was my mom's lasagna! So delicious and ooey googey cheese, but I was never one to like cooking with the lasagna noodles. So, one day I decided to make a sort of ziti goolash. if I don't want to use lasagna noodles, why not some other noodles we happened to have on hand. Really I should probably call this Baked Penne, as I usually use penne noodles, but you can substitute the noodles for whatever kind you enjoy! It's a relatively simple meal and packed with cheese! which I quite enjoy =D
