Endless Possabilities

Last week we made Greek, Thai, and European Cuisine. All in the same night! I love discovering new foods. It is a passion of mine. Every month my husband and I try to think of something new to try. Then we look up hundreds of recipes, decide on a few and make up our own version. Usually I create alone ( i am a bit of a control freak in the kitchen) but with these new recipes there are no rules and it is easier for me to just go with the flow! Now we may not hit the ball outta the park every time but even when it is awful we still enjoy it. It is a new tradition but one that is bringing us a lot of joy.

Give it a try and I pray it will give you as much joy as it does us.

I'll keep you posted on the delicious successes, and even fill you in on our hilarious failures along with my new day to day creations.
