And….We’re Back!

I’ve finally gotten around to being able to cook again in this chaotic move.  I’m in limbo right now between homes.  My house has been rented out to someone else, and the Spain thing is on hold for a moment (who knows how long this will be!).

In the meantime, I’ve been gaining weight like crazy because I haven’t been able to cook.  The recipes from now on are going to be pretty health conscious.  In fact, the recipes are going to be from Jillian Michaels’ book Making the Cut.  I won’t get into all the details about that here, but you can read about my weight loss adventure on my other blog http://thestepfordwife.blogspot.com/ if you’re interested.

I’m so excited to be back!
