Just to get started....

     This is the spot where a recipe is supposed to go.

 Here. 

Right here. 

Because, as you know, there is an extreme shortage of recipes on the internet. 
*insert giggle*
     No, really, I plan on sharing with you many of the recipes I've found, been given, changed, tweaked, and pulverized to my own liking, and have stood the test of the hubby. 

     For starters, however, I'll share the unique quirks of my kitchen:

Ingredients that aren't allowed:
  • wheat flour
  • cornstarch
  • processed sugar
  • peas
  • cows' milk (unless absolutely imperative)
Ingredients we strive for:
  • organic
  • fresh
  • processed with the least amount of ingredients and poisons
My disclaimer for all proceeding articles:

     I am NOT a cooking goddess. In fact, cooking really isn't my favorite thing (lets just be honest and say that eating out is SO much cleaner and easier).  I was sort of forced into the cooking healthy scene due to...you guessed it, my health.  I went cold turkey. Overnight, I left my breads, cakes, beef, Taco Bell, gravy, and life as I knew it, to start burning fish in the oven.  I've come a long way, but I'm still learning each time I try something new, or tweak a new-found recipe. Finding and changing dishes IS fun, however, and the recipes feel like puzzles to me: how can I make this food healthier? After all, if we're going to save money by eating food cooked at home, I might as well save our arteries and digestive systems while I'm at it.  Now, for the cleaning the kitchen part.....hmmmm....
