Welcome to my new cookbook blog! Hi, I'm Kim and here is where I'm going to be making notes and writing down all the meals that I make. I'm a huge foodie. I love to eat food, try new food, and experiment with food. If it has to do with food, I'm all about it! I decided to make this cookbook blog because it's always fun sharing recipes and meals with friends, near and far. I also want to share this blog with anyone that has the same love for food that I do. In addition to this blog, I am also in the early stages of putting my meals into an actual book.

I'll be blogging and writing my recipes when I make a meal. There might be some days where I make breakfast, lunch, and dinner and there might be some days where the only meal I make is dinner. I'll be linking my blog with my Facebook page, but check back here periodically! You never know when I'll be blogging. I came up with this whole cookbook blog idea yesterday (1/21/2013), so the most recent blog entry will almost always be from the day before. My biggest goal is to make healthy, delicious meals that will satisfy even the pickiest eater, and to always remember to write down the meals I make and blog them, for you! So let's get started. Happy Cooking!

For breakfast I made something that I like to call Breakfast Sushi. Total time (including prep): about 5 minutes to make. Ingredients used: 1 banana, peanut butter, and rice krispies pieces. You can also substitute oats or granola. Directions: cut banana into roughly 1/2  inch pieces. Cover pieces of banana with peanut butter. I like Smucker's Organic Creamy Peanut Butter, but any peanut butter will work. Last, put rice krispies pieces on the entire piece of covered peanut butter banana. This meal is great if you are on the go! It's very easy to make and doesn't require a lot of time, plus it's healthy. 

Tip: you could also substitute honey for peanut butter. If someone test's this method out, let me know how the result is!


For dinner I had Lemony Chicken. Total Time: about 30 minutes (including a 5 minute prep time). Ingredients used : 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, 4 boneless chicken breast (can do less, depending on how many servings you need), 1 can of Campbell's Condensed 98% Fat Free Cream of Chicken Soup, 1/4 cup of milk, 1/2 tablespoon of lemon juice, 1/8 teaspoon ground pepper, 1/2 cup of black olives (can substitute onions), 4 lemon slices and 4 cups of rice. Directions: First, heat oil in a skillet. Next, add the chicken breast and cook until brown. Then, add the soup, milk, lemon juice, pepper, and olives. I used condensed fat free cream of chicken soup and 2% milk, but whatever you like is okay. Heat to a boil. Cover and cook on low heat for roughly 5 minutes or until done. Serve over rice and last, top chicken breast with lemon slices. 

Until next time. As always, Happy Cooking!
