Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Canning

So if you're a regular reader of this blog (and let's face it, no one is!) you might be wondering where I've been. Where are the new recipes? Heck, where are the OLD ones?
I've been busy canning.

Over the summer I went to two in-home parties to learn how to can. At both parties there was copious amounts of wine, and well, lets just say I didn't pay attention to any of that canning stuff. I mean, who has time for that? All that sweating over a giant vat of boiling water for 4 hours.

Who actually DOES that?

Apparently, I do.
As Mark says, I either do everything half-assed or 790% Canning has fallen into the latter category.

So far we've made two different salsa recipes and a canned bruschetta recipe. And I'm not done yet. I'm going to make hot salsa, and mango salsa... and green salsa. There are just so many possibilities!!!And eventually, when I grow bored with my new found hobby (and run out of canning jars) I'll go back to cooking up delicious new recipes.

Until then... I think I need another 10-pound box of tomatoes!
