I now have a blog!

After much deliberation and frustration trying to figure out this blogging thing, I think I have gotten enough of a handle on it to give it a go. I have wanted to start a blog for a while now to chronicle Eric and I's adventures as we experience life together as a family. I am glad you are reading this now and I hope I can keep you somewhat entertained to come back!

What can you expect from Bases Loaded? I plan to blog about our every day fun, travel adventures, Ollie updates, and house projects, as well as my learning experiences in the kitchen. As most people reading this know, I was not blessed with any inherited cooking abilities. I followed my mother's foot steps and married a man who could cook. I am very fortunate for this or Eric and I would be eating Velveeta Shells & Cheese and Hot Pockets for most meals. Recently though, I have decided I will not let my lack of experience prevent me from trying to learn to cook. The last couple of months I have scoured the internet for the best recipes to try and have had a couple of successes that I can proudly put to my name. Eric still can dish out the fancy meals that are quite impressive (braised beef tips, veal marsala, just to name a few...), but I have learned that I am a pretty good baker and casserole maker! I love cooking blogs, so I plan on sharing the recipes that make it into the keep pile with ya'll!

So stayed tuned for more!!
