My First Blog

Well today is my official first day to sit down and start blogging, after many attempts by a certain someone (who's name begins with the letter M), to make me start my own blog. Ok so for weeks now I was thinking of what I should blog about....M and I came up with some ideas but nothing clicked with me.....but then I started thinking...hmmmmmm what do I love to talk about, and do each and everyday.......COOK and BAKE!!! For the past year I have had this yahoo group called Cooking Gals, where we send out recipes and cooking tips to one another, with a designated theme for each month. So I thought, what a great idea if i set up this blog where we can post a pic of our recipes, and share some insider tips. Cooking Gals this is for u guys, and M this is ur fault I started this blog......u got me addicted!!! tsk tsk!

OK so here we goooooo.......my first recipe!!
