My first blog!

So this is it, my first blog! Welcome! I'm going to introduce myself as "Kitchen Girl". I should have started blogging a long time ago, but not being a big "techie", I found the whole idea more than a little daunting. (Not that I tried to even figure out how. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it actually is!)

Anyway, as the title of my blog suggests, the purpose of my blog is to document my "adventures" in the kitchen. Specifically, I intend keep a record of the recipes that I've made, as well as their results. I think this is now the perfect opportunity to give a little opener about myself.

As you may have already suspected, I love to cook. I have been cooking for years, but haven't yet gained full confidence (or the expertise) to come up with my own creations. So approximately 75% of what I make are things that I find on the Internet, namely the Allrecipes and Food Network websites. I have tried dozens of recipes, but up until this point, hadn't been recording which ones I had made. Of course, this puts me at risk of making a so-called "bad" recipe more than once, which is why I'm doing this!


Now that you're all up to speed with respect to why I'm doing this, I'm going to stop jabbing mindlessly and get down to business!


So tonight, I plan to make: 


Avocado Stuffed Yams, Allrecipes (link) 


Butternut Squash Soup II, Allrecipes (link) - I've made the Butternut Squash Soup many times in the past, and everyone in my family has loved it. As an added bonus, it is easily adaptable to the ingredients you have on hand and nutritious! 


Salmon Teriyaki, Foodnetwork (link) 


OR 


Salmon with Cheese Sauce, Food Network (link) 


Molten Heart Chocolate Cakes, Food Network (link) - I've attempted at this recipe before but it was an epic fail! I'll explain why later.


I will fill you in on how my dinner turns out! On a side note, I'll also have to figure out how to change the background. The bookcase theme is not the most fitting for my blog, is it? Haha.
