Car Buying and Recipe 101

Yesterday morning began with my weekly trip to the grocery store around 7am.  It's the best time to go because NO ONE is there.  After finishing a few errands, my husband and I were on our way to buy our first brand new car.  We went to a nearby dealership that knew we were going to buy a car from them and new exactly what we wanted.  We get there and guess what?  They don't have the car we want!  They tried to talk us into the car with extra features including door visors (which looked absolutely awful!).  So we left, we ended up buying our car yesterday from a dealer in town who had everything we wanted AND matched our asking price.

Anyway, my sister just moved in to a new house with three girlfriends.  We had a house warming party to attend.  I was going to make key lime pie dip.  I did.  It was super easy and quick.  Thankfully (the car buying thing took WAY long).  I served it with graham crackers and vanilla wafers.  In my haste I forgot to take a picture of my 101 recipe.  There was none left to take a picture of- I guess it was a hit!

This recipe came from Recipe.com

The Beginning

So Wednesday it happened....it was my first day with my new kids and I reached the 100th recipe I had made thanks to Pinterest!

I love to bake (and cook, but let's be honest, there is no dough to taste test when you're cooking dinner).  I also love to take pictures on my Canon Rebel.  As I was making my way to my 100th recipe, I wondered why I was taking pictures of everything I made because I wasn't doing anything with them.  So I decided I would start a blog to see my way to my 200th Pinterest recipe!  Why not...it's not like I have nothing else on my plate this school year.  Oh yea, except for maybe teaching first graders, taking two graduate classes, teaching 4 dance classes, and continuing to take ballroom lessons with my husband.  So yea, why not!

My goal is to make 100 more recipes during this school year (100 recipes in 177 school days).  While I do dream of owning a bakery with a dear friend, not all of the recipes will be baked goods.  In this blog, I will recap some of my first 100 recipes and probably rant about how stressed I am :).

Not only do I have a crazy schedule this year, this is only my second year teaching, I have been married to my high school sweetheart for just over a year, and we have been homeowners for a year.

 So here it goes!
