Here's to new cameras and new beginnings

I gave my sweet husband some not so subtle hints that I would like a new camera for Christmas. Not so subtle as in, I sent him my Christmas list via text message the day he and my step son went Christmas shopping. On it? A 15 carat diamond tennis bracelet, a new BIGGER house, a Mercedes SUV and a dSLR camera. It was kind of a no brainier for him from that point on. Now, had he bought me anything else on that list I would of probably fallen over and had a heart attack. The tennis bracelet would of had to go back to the store. What in the world would a stay at home mom that volunteers to be the popcorn chair at her 5 year olds elementary school that sometimes caters do with that kind of bracelet anyway? The house and the car?? It's next on my list :0)

 Maybe anniversary and birthday? 

Anywho, we can talk about that another time. 

So, the new camera is a dream. I love it. I love the look, the feel, the pictures, well just about everything  I wish it came idiot proof and had me taking amazing professional style pictures right out of the gate, but it doesn't. That is why my husband also gave me a book to help me learn the camera, the proper way. I have glanced over it a few times, thinking I could just pick it up with the little knowledge I have gotten from the passing glance of the book, but now I am having to go back through it a little better. It will come to me, I know it will. I love to learn anything new. 

My new beginnings is something I have been tossing back and fourth with for some time. I have wanted to start this blog back up properly, with pictures, get my catering a fire under it's butt and just start cooking really, really good foods again. 

A lot of the foods will be healthy, but a few not-so-healthy ones will make an appearance every so often (I'm a baker at heart, I can't help it). 

My goal is this....a new recipe and blog entry every day. HA HA, just kidding. Not every day, but hopefully twice a week.

I have some awesome things in the works for my business and just for you lovely people in general. Some great recipes that maybe would scare you in the past, but that really aren't that hard. I want to show you some really neat ways of making some amazing dishes, whether you are a beginner cook or even a professional (although, if you are a professional there is no way you should be here. I'm barely a novice myself that gets lucky).
