May certainly went by in a flash. I am in awe that June is already here. It’s a very busy month for me- it’s set up to be my busiest month yet for work AND we’re heading to Mexico to celebrate our 5th anniversary. I can’t wait! I just have to make it to the end of the month!
I’m trying almost all new recipes this week, enjoy…
31. Monday – chicken fricassee
1. Tuesday – char siu BBQ pork tenderloin
2. Wednesday – French Dip Sandwiches
3. Thursday – Chicken Pate Puffs with veggies
4. Friday - FFY buffet. Working at night so suitNtie is handling dinner.
5. Saturday – I will be gone most of the day for work. I’m guessing hot dogs on the grill or Eggos!
6. Sunday – pizza night- apricot and proscuitto

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.

Mexico sounds great! I really like the apricot & prosciutto combination.
