Christmas came early...

Thanks to Santa (aka, my husband and my parents), I am the proud owner of a brand new Canon Rebel.

NO MORE camera problems!! I was so happy to see my old one go, and now I don't have to borrow my dad's. YAY!!

Thank you, Santa - you are awesome - extra cookies for you this year. :)

Which Canon Rebel is it? I can't figure out which one to get. Do you like it so far?

I got the Xsi recently too. I am in love! Maybe we can learn together how to use it correctly! :)

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.
