Welcome!

Hello there!

For those of you that were loyal readers of Thoughts of Beauty, welcome back! That blog is not gone forever, I've just found a new passion that I want to share with you and the rest of the world.

For new readers: Hi! My name is Robin, if you hadn't already figured that out. I like a lot of things, but this blog is going to highlight three of them: cooking, taking pictures, and attempting to be witty in writing. Hopefully it works out.

So I'm sure you've all figured out what this blog is about by now. Recently, I have rediscovered my passion for the kitchen. I also rediscovered that I do not take instructions well. I never follow a recipe. I'll start with clearly written instructions, then something will go wrong and I will do something totally different. And, hey! Most of the time it works! So here's the deal: some blog postings will be my own original recipes. Others will be recipes I've attempted (mostly from Pinterest) and changed to make my own.

The plan is this: every week I will post on two days: Main Course Monday and Side Dish Saturday. Then, on occasion, say, once or twice a month, I will have a Tasty Tuesday (where I cook something completely random), a Fun Friday (where I cook seasonal or special-occasion yummies), and a Sweet Tooth Sunday (desserts, DUH!).

Please let me know your thoughts and what you would like for me to feature!

And for your viewing pleasure, I did a tiny little photo shoot in the kitchen this evening to kick us off!
