Back Home Again

This has been a couple of emotional, life changing weeks.  I had expected to be back on blogging track but new challenges kept coming at me.  For the most part, things are calming down and I hope to be blogging on a regular basis from here on out. 

I have made it safely to the United States for my summer vacation.  I'll be spending my time at my parents house in Indiana.  I'm extremely excited to be cooking in a large kitchen with all ingredients quickly at hand.  I'm also excited to be sharing some of my favorite recipes from this site with my parents.

I started this blog because I was amazed and shocked at the quality of meals I could prepare with such limited ingredients while living in Mexico. The excitement of each successfully attempted recipe was exhilarating and has gotten me completely, 100%, head over heels obessed with all things food related. I can spend hours researching recipe websites, browsing other food blogs, and viewing pictures of exquisitely plated food.

Not only am I here in the US on vacation, but I have also decided to permanently move back to the country.  I drove through Mexico for the last time last week and am so blessed to have had such an amazing 4 years down there.  All of this means that I am excited to start the next phase of my cooking journey. I can only begin to imagine what will be cooking in the kitchen over the next year. All the correct ingredients, the best cooking and baking equipment, an accurate oven thermometer, etc..... I'm sure it will feel like a dream at first.

Also recently changed, I will be cooking solo for awhile. It will be strange to go back to cooking for only one person rather than two. I know that many meals will be leftovers so I will not be going through as many new recipes as I have in the past months. I hope to try one new, exotic dish each week so that I have at least one blog post for the week. And for all you meat lovers out there..... with no man around the house, I imagine that most of my dishes will be going back to vegetarian. Feel free to substitute (for tofu) or add chicken, pork or beef whenever you feel like it.

Much love to all my readers!! I appreciate all of you!
