the beginning

I've never been courageous enought to try anything like this before. I'm always worried about a negative response but this time I don't care about that. Here's the plan. After watching the new movie Julie and Julia, I realized just how much fun it would be to do something like that. But I didn't want to to the exact same thing, I wanted to come up with my own idea. And after many different opinions and ideas from friends and family, I decided to make my own cookbook compiled of many different recipes. From my own recipes, to ones from family, to favorites off the internet and ones from tv. The difference is that I'm going to take these recipes and tweak them to make them into my own. And since this whole project idea came from that movie, I have a few of Julia Child's recipes I'm dying to try out. I'm very curious to know if I'm good enough to re-create Julia's amazing food. So throughout my journey, I'll be writing all my 'messes and successes' in this blog. And this should be a lot of fun. So, enjoy. And in Julia's words...."Bon Appetit!" :)
