How I pick my meals

Hi! Welcome to my blog, I wasn't really sure that I wanted to start a blog because I wasn't really sure what I would write about. Then it became obvious.....FOOD! I love to cook and I know people are always looking for recipes online. I know this because that is how I found my recipes. I think about something that sounds good to eat and then I "Google" it. I make my decisions off of pictures and ratings (if they have them). Generally I know what kinds of ingredients I want to use. For example I prefer a creamy version of shrimp and grits,so I make sure to include that in my search or if it's a specific ingredient I will include that as well. I find the recipe that fits closest to what I am envisioning/ craving and I modify it while I cook. If its a success, I make adjustments to the recipe and file it away. I base success off of 3 things: my own personal enjoyment, if my husband goes back for seconds, and if my son says "its' delicious mommy!" Sometimes 2 outa 3 ain't bad is my theory. Can't win em all. I try to cook at least 4 times a week and I usually have some kind of event that I test out appetizers on. When I cook something new I will add it to the blog with pics, ingredients, tips,and ratings. I hope you all enjoy my cravings!
