Two years ago today I began an adventure in both cooking and writing. I began with a stack of recipes and a desire to carve out something of my own. On that journey I have had a lot of fun, many messes, and a sense of accomplishment.
I have had a ball cooking up many dishes. Although some attempts were not successful, they all taught me something. I overcame my fear of photography and learned some technical aspects too. Having followers around the world surprised and delighted me. I was thrilled to be re-pinned on Pinterest.
The goal of trying new recipes was met, yet I found my cooking style to be not following any recipe at all! I learned to cook from what I had on hand instead of cooking by a new recipe. This was a great way to waste less food. One of the things I really enjoyed was learning to batch cook. I also liked transforming leftovers into a new meal (that didn't look like leftovers) . This brought out my creative side and gave me a frugal fix. I made A LOT of soup.
Thank you for joining me on my quest in the kitchen. To celebrate my writing anniversary, I will be giving away cookbooks this month. To participate in the cookbook giveaway: comment on any "Outside the Box" blogpost (including any past post); re-pin a post to Pinterest, or shamelessly promote me on facebook or Twitter.
It is time to retire my little black recipe book, but not my laptop. I look forward to bringing you my life "Outside the Box." Thank you for reading, eating and sharing.
