So the other day I was thinking about what to do with my time after I was finished with the MCAT (I just took it yesterday!). Since moving to DC in June I have been working semi-hard trying to get better at cooking for myself. Mostly this consists of me bookmarking a million recipes I see on blogs or Pinterest and not doing that much actual cooking. I blame it on the amount of studying I've been doing, but I'm also a little scared to make things that taste truly horrible so I haven't been in a rush to get started.
I came to the conclusion, after bookmarking a million more recipes and getting a couple of cookbooks and a bunch of cookware for Christmas, that I am going to start a blog documenting my cooking attempts. More likely than not this will not involve making up any recipes. I am not that adventurous. Anything that didn't come from the internet or my books came from my mother's talent, not mine. I hope to do at least one, hopefully two, new recipes and posts a week (we'll see how that goes!). I also was super lucky to get a new camera this Christmas so I promise to post lots of pictures along the way (an amateur Smitten Kitchen so to speak if I can pray enough to make my food come out that well). I also promise to give credit where credit is due so you will always know where to find the recipes yourself and see if you can make it better than me (probably won't be that hard!).
So that's it. May seem silly, but it is something I would like to try. Wish me luck and look for the first post sometime this week!

Great idea, Liz! I look forward to following your progress and picking up some good recipes.
