Vital Information
Wow!! What a response to my blog!
Thanks for the input from all of you.
I received criticism on not better defining what this blog is all about. Here is my answer:
I am a guy that enjoys food. I have a lovely wife and two great kids, 5 and 2. In my family, I am the cook. It is a role I embrace. The meal planning and prep is nearly all my responsibility. In fact, when I am away from the house, the family eats drive thru food or pizza gets delivered.
A few years ago, I grew tired of the sameness of our menu and sought variety. Taste was my original motivator; however, good health sense has become important too. I found it to be less than Herculean to get great meals at home. However, too many people I know are stuck in a rut and are not getting good meals and good meal-time with the family unit. That is where this blog was born.
My true goal with this blog is to provide easy ways to put on a sit-down dinner. The reduction of the family meal to an oddity is severely weakening the links in the family unit. (I covered this in an earlier entry).
Here is what you can expect from this blog:
I will try to propose 30 minute or less meal ideas. I will overstep this at times depending on the recipe. I will propose some ready-made and near-ready-made items. Again, the goal aims for speed and flavor.
When I see interesting information in my travels, I’ll pass it along here.
Not all the recipes are low-fat or “super-healthy”. I would rather you eat less-healthy food at home before doing the drive-thru. When available, I’ll include nutrition information.
I do not hate fast food. In fact, I eat my share of it. My message is to reduce intake of that food by eating at home. The benefits outweigh the costs on all levels.
I will respond to questions and criticisms. That is a fair commitment from me, the blogger. Give me feedback and I’ll accommodate as best I can.
The subject may get off the path once in a while. I think it adds flair to step around a bit. If the entry is not appealing, skip it, that is a beauty offered in Blogs!!
