Welcome!

Hi there! You've found the newest blog in the Y Family - the cooking blog! Let me explain how this came about...

No matter what anyone else tells you, I really do enjoy cooking. And even more so, I enjoy eating (as evidenced by my growing waistline...grrrr!). Matt likes to cook, too - and he's great at it! Now that we've got Ben, I'm trying to cook with ease - i.e. meals that are easy to assemble, cook & freeze.

Ben likes to be in the kitchen, too, though he's not much help, yet! He loves to pull things out of the fridge, move the garbage can around, bang pots and pans together, pull on the dishwasher racks...

So I thought this might be a good place to gather all of our successful recipes, restaurant reviews, favorite new wines, fab food shows, etc. At the very least, it will help me organize my recipes and ideas! We really hope you find something you love within these posts - and if you do, let me know! (If you hate it, don't tell me! ;) )

Happy cooking and eating!
