and boy, is it SO much nicer. A little late on the blogging resuming (and you have my sincere apologies) but I must say that in my innocence, I had no idea that the move would be this difficult.
We are in our new house, yes, but unpacked? ha. The kitchen, except for the big cardboard box of spices, is unpacked. Now, I have to reorganize everything I put away because I find it makes no sense. We aren’t menu planning this week because I’m lucky I’m making food these days, never mind knowing ahead of time what it will be. My big stand freezer is over at my in-laws, and I’m grabbing 2-3 days worth of meat at a time, so I CAN tell you that tonight we’re having pasta with homemade marinara and tomorrow something involving chicken breasts. That’s about as much as you’re going to get.
I expect to rejoin Menu Planning Monday at the next opportunity.
For now, I just wanted you to know that I haven’t forgotten about the site, nor am I giving it up. I miss it, actually.
It all started as a New Year's resolution for 2009. I wanted to start trying menu planning, a concept that I had stumbled across while looking for dinner ideas online. I dove into it with energy and unlike most diets, saw success immediately. The success only made me more interested in how I could improve, what new recipes I could find, etc. I started using my family blog for menu planning posts and it kind of started to take over. So, I decided to give my culinary fumblings their own home- and mygrandcentralkitchen.com was born.
Why "my grand central kitchen?" Well, I have 2 kids that are about 20 months apart. I have a husband who works from home. Cooking is a hobby for me. So you could say that aside from the playroom, the kitchen is the busiest room in my house and usually looks it. ;) It feels a bit like Grand Central Station, especially between 4 and 7 pm.
I hope that this blog gives me even more inspiration for my own home and the ability to inspire others in the kitchen, as well. I'll be posting not just menu planning and recipe links, but also interesting things I find online, things on my wishlist and recommendations. And who knows where it might go from there. :)
I certainly hope you enjoy the ride.
