Getting started

I've unsuccessfully blogged before. I fully admit it.  I  thought I had to blog something good everyday.  I quickly got burnt out.  My new idea is to blog at my pace this time.  I've wanted to make a change in my eating style and attempted to do so this last month by taking the Unprocessed October challenge by Eating Rules.   It was very eye opening.  I felt like I've learned a lot and tried some new things but my mind is like a sieve,  I need someplace to write this all down and be able to come back to when I want to make it again.
So, my promise, to me, is to blog occasionally and, well lets admit it, it will probably be pretty mediocre as well.  I also promise to post when I cook something new (or an oldie I like and haven't posted yet). There will even be the occasional picture.
For this first blog I already have a recipe in mind.  I will actually be making it on Tuesday night/Wednesday morning for another family.  Nothing like experimenting on someone else, right? 
Part of the recipe calls for cream of chicken soup.  I found a recipe to make homemade cream of chicken soup!  Yippee!   I'm all about taking as many chemicals out as I can and knowing what I am actually cooking.  Don't get me started on the facebook posts about the McRib.  Gah!!!
