IM BACK!!

Hi! I had to take a bit of a sabatical because I ended up getting a NEW JOB. I am thrilled and lucky to have found a really good job after the age of 40. I love the job, I work for a food distributor and couldnt be happier, however the job is still a working learning experience. While I have a lot of it under control now, I still have so much to learn. our company represents over 10,000 products and I sell over 80 resturaunts. So, while I was learning the job, and raising my son, it was about all I could handle. However, I didnt stop preparing a convenience store item everyday, infact the recipes and meals came in handy more then ever. I believe in getting dinner on the table everynight, and the last 7 months I was always strapped for time, so while I personally dont live in a food desert, and have access to many grocery stores, it was just quicker and easier to go to my local convenience store. In other words, there is a market for convenience store cooking for not just people living in food deserts, but people on the go.....working moms, single dads, elderly people who dont want to navigate the grocery store. I am slowly going to start putting up more recipes, I have atleast 100 more recipes and the ideas keep coming. One of my favorite things to do is to take out one of my treasured cookbooks- Joy Of Cooking, anything by Mario Batali, Giada Delorentes and convert one of their recipes to a ocnvenience store recipe. So many recipes can be made!! There can be no excuses, and now sitting back waiting for a grocery store to open in ones area, or saying there is no time, must go the fastfood route. Our health and health of our families are too important.
