February 2012: The journey for my husband and I to become debt free begins....
We realize that Christ has called us to free ourselves from our school loans this year. In doing so we realize, with our paychecks that aren't much to brag over, we have a significant task ahead of us. One of my husbands ONLY expectations when we got married was that I cook on a regular basis. His talent does not reside in the area of cooking :) So what's a girl to do? Emptyish fridge and no budget to be cooking half of what I see in Bon Appetit! (alas)
But I...love food. I am not a foodie in a sense that I yearn to be apart of some elite society or club. I am a foodie that loves to eat food, talk about food, try new food, and mostly to learn new techniques, recipes, and flavors!
So I wanted to put this out there just in case there's anyone else out there who gets home at the end of the day and looks in their cupboard and wishes with all their heart that there was something more to choose from! For anyone who loves to cook but doesn't know what to do with what they've got.
I hope this can be a place where I can share ideas, learn new ideas, and do some cookin!
Love your blog! I can completely relate, my husband I are also working really hard to become debt free...and it's be a fun challenge to see what meals I can come up with a slim food budget. I feel like it's more fun and rewarding! :) Looking forward to reading your posts!
