Growing up I loved to cook, but when cooking became a requirement it no longer holds the inspiration that I used to have. Since I was 'required' to cook (aka moving out of mum & dads 7 years ago) my creative cooking has gone downhill. Waaay downhill actually! Not only am I very very rarely creative with what i want to cook, but I also seem to get stuck in food ruts. I used to have such a passion for finding new recipes and creating my own, but that is no more. Now when I actually do feel creative, more often than not my cooking adventures usually end up getting take out because my dish is so horrible (even with a recipe!). What happened to my cooking genius that I used to have (and if you doubt, my sister can attest to my great cooking!)? My new goal now that the wedding is done is to try a new recipe every week. I'll post about the results after I'm done and we can see how many hits I get out of this experiment.
To start things off, I thought I would show some of my successes from recently. I seem to be having better luck baking so please enjoy the glory that is my blueberry banana muffin tops and apple pie.

I was actually really impressed with my pie baking skills since I am not a pie person. At all. I can turn down pie any day of the week but usually can't walk away from cake :P My husband loves all things dessert but apple pie is one of his favorites and had been asking me to make him one since we started dating (5 1/2 years), so I figured I would finally make him one now that we were married. Good things come to those who wait :)
I must admit thought that the pie was not actually perfect. It looks good and tasted good, but it was more of an apple sauce pie than an apple pie. Now i know not to cut the apples so thinly!

Hope these made you hungry because I can't guarantee the quality of future postings :D
