Okay, here we go. My first official post on my new cooking blog that I've started just for fun! For those wondering, the blog is called "Food Talk at Five" because for a while a co-worker of mine and I have been  sharing our love for food and cooking with each other at 5:00 usually on Fridays. Basically, we schedule "Food Talk" so we can discuss what we're planning on cooking for the weekend and any new ideas we have to share or things we want to try. Food talk also happens at 4:00 to be fair. I absolutely love food and cooking and am always looking for new ideas. Thankfully my wonderful husband is becoming pretty adventurous and loves to try new ideas with me. It's partly because of him that I'm actually starting this blog! He told me this weekend that he was so proud of me and my skills in the kitchen. Not that I'm a pro by any means, but I do have some great cooks in my family so it must have rubbed off somewhere and to be told that you're a good cook, well, I'll take it! I'm also hoping that this blog will challenge me to make up my own ideas instead of just trying recipes that I find online. Also, I'll always give credit where credit is due! I find most of my recipes on allrecipes.ca but I do randomly come across some great one's in other blogs as well. As for the photos, I take all of them on my iPhone so hopefully they turn out well enough to be posted here. Anyway, I hope you all (mom, Brenden, Mike, and others?) enjoy. I'll be posting pictures and recipes from my adventures in the kitchen this past mother's day weekend shortly, so stay tuned.
