Awwww! blush

I cannot believe that, after only 2 weeks of being a food blogger, I have earned this:

I "know" Kayte from two different boards, and she is truly one of the sweetest people I "encounter" on a daily basis. Check out her blog - YUM!!

Thanks SO SO SO much, Kayte! You made MY day with this!

Now, I'm going to share this with ten people who make MY day:
Brooke
Jen
BMK
Ally
Melissa
Nikki
Deb
Monica
Erin
Joelen

Ladies, many of you probably don't even know who I am! (Except for Jen and Brooke, my "in real life" friends... hee hee!) But I read your blogs daily and have "starred" many of your posts. You inspire me - and you make my day. Pass this along to others who make YOUR day...

Lauren 101

Before my wedding in 2003, my idea of cooking was Kraft mac and cheese. My mother and my mother-in-law even left me several boxes of the blue box on my counter the day we returned from our honeymoon. I believe a few showed up in the wishing well at my bridal shower, too.

Once I became a Mrs, however, I figured I'd need to step it up in the kitchen.

I rarely prepared anything from scratch, though; it was frozen stuff chicken and rice in a pouch all the way.

About a year (and 20lbs) later, I decided that something needed to change in the kitchen. I went on a diet and lost the weight, but knew I needed to lose the habits too.

Armed with Rachael Ray cookbooks and the internet, I slowly began to expand my repertoire. I joined an online cooking forum and subscribed to about eleventy billion cooking blogs.

Cooking remains a challenge, however, as two sweet little boys joined our family over the last few years. Coupled with my full time job, I look for meals that are healthy and easy.

I also discovered a love for photography along the way, and while I'm about as unprofessional behind the camera as they come, I really enjoy honing my skills on my dinner - mainly because it can't run away like my two wild boys can.

I love maintaining this blog, and I hope you like visiting.
