Why I Blog

When I first started cooking a little and the more I cooked, I realized that I wanted a place I could save my recipes. I spend so much more time on the computer than I do with a notebook handy it just made sense to put those recipes on my blog. After a couple of years of this, I found it was getting super difficult to find recipes on my blog in the midst of all the posts. I decided to start fresh and clean so I can just have one post per recipe and find what I'm looking for. I love blogs because it's a great way to combine journals and scrapbooks and I haven't been good at doing either ever. I especially love food blogs because I feel like so many of the best moments in life are when friends and family come together and share a great meal and those moments should be documented. When looking back on great family dinners, you might not always remember what you had to eat, but when you sit down for a good home cooked meal, those memories help make it feel like home. Writing down recipes and passing them on is one of the best things. I can't wait for the day I'll be able to make my grandma's homemade applesauce or my bestemor's (Norwegian for grandma) Norwegian pancakes for my kids. What a special thing to be able to pass down. That's why I blog. I want to keep track of these food experiences, I want to write down these recipes so I can perfect and share with loved ones.
