Reason why we Blog FOOD!

So I've been thinking for a very long time that we should start a cooking blog.  I got the idea from Ashley Riske, but she hasn't done much to her blog.  So not to outdo her, but seriously we need a quick and easy way to get new recipes that we know work!  So hence, my cooking blog.  As we all know, food is the way to a man's heart, this should help in so many different cases of our lives.  Good luck finding something you'll like and if you have any recipes that I should post, e-mail them to me and I'll get them up ASAP!  Have fun making Cooking Magic in your kitchen!

If you try any of the recipes please post and let us know how it was. Also, if you are really ambitious, it would be awesome to have pictures of the foods that you made from these recipes. If you are one of those ambitious persons, then send me the picture and I'll add it to the post! Thanks!
