Hello Again & Quick Tip

Hi there, food friends! I hope you're all still here, despite my hiatus.

A bit of explanation ... A little over a month ago, I started a new job, which I love. Great gig and great people. But it did bring my job total up to 3 at once. So I've spent most of this last month adjusting to my new schedule and spending the little free time I do have with Chase.

I think I've finally adjusted to the schedule, but I know that if I want to start blogging again, I'll have to start smaller. First because of the time I have for writing, but also because Chase and I haven't been able to cook as often. I won't always be able to get a recipe up, but I want to at least give you something every week to get the creative food energy stirring (and measuring and chopping and so forth).

This also means that I would LOVE if any of you are interested in guest blogging. I'll do the dirty tech work, you do the cooking and photo-taking.

And to start us off again, a tip that I've long been using, and that Chase noticed this weekend when we were making brownies for a get-together.

Quick Tip: For Better Brownies

Give your boxed brownie mix an extra kick. Add 1/2 tsp of vanilla extract and 1/4 tsp of cinnamon to your batter for an even richer, more homemade flavor.
