Why a Food blog?

As I was flipping through all of my recipe cards tonight looking for a particular salad recipe I was annoyed (again) that I couldn't keep my recipes all organized. No matter how hard I try they get scattered to the four winds. As I was putting together my favorite salad my mind kept stewing over my disorganized recipes. Finally it hit me, just create a blog and put all of your recipes on there. I have always wanted to just be able to find all of my recipes that say, have ham in them, so when I have some leftover ham, TADA! there are all of them in a little group ready for me to pick the one that works best for me that night. It's never happened. So, I figured here was my chance. I could use it primarily as a way for me to organize all of my recipes for easy finding. Also, when I have enough put on here I can print it into a book for when my kids leave the nest and VOILA! instant pack-your-bags-your-moving-out-going-away present for them, straight from my heart. :) So, here goes, to start us off I thought I would share the recipe that started it all!
