Sabbatical

To my (few but) loyal blog followers....

I love the whole idea of a blog and my intent in beginning this was to try and demonstrate that you CAN cook a decent meal for your family while having a busy life....and I think I "started" to do that... however, I was trying to do the blog at the same time as finishing my family cookbook, work full time, have two teenage children and be a somewhat decent wife to my husband....I realized that what was NOT getting done was the cookbook.  I am probably over half way complete with putting down our family favorites, many of my Mom, Grandmother and Great Aunt's recipes and what has become our family favorites in a format that I could print in a relatively small quantity and give to family members, new neices, new (soon to be) daughter-in-laws etc.  SO... I have decided to suspend the blog...not quit but take about 6 months to spend my free time heads down with testing and finishing the cookbook process.  My goal is to get it published in some form before summer is over (my real goal is July 4th but that may be ambitious). 

So...thanks for checking in with me on this...and if you are interested in recieving a copy of the cookbook, send me a comment and I'll put you down for one - trust me it won't rival Martha Stewart but it will be filled with great recipes that I know work every time....and perhaps a little bit of family history surrounding the recipe.  My daughter Jenny named it..."Pass the plate and share the love".  Let me know if you want a copy, and I'll be back blogging (and hopefully taking better pictures than currently) in a few months.

Good cooking to you all...
