sooo with The Husband working as much as he has been, I have been morphing into a real Suzie-Homemaker! I'm working very hard to come up with new recipes. I am SO tired of eating the same stuff all. the. TIME! I am constantly looking for different things to cook - allrecipes.com is my new best friend. of course you can always find some pretty yummy ideas on Pinterest - but I reserve my pinterest recipe finding for drinks and desserts =)
