\nMy husband and I had developed a habit of eating out often. After a kitchen remodel (we didn’t have a dishwasher for five years), we rediscovered the joy of cooking and I am slowly trying to learn to put a few more recipes under my belt. Whether the recipes are my own, or new ones I try out, I will blog about my favorites. I decided to start this blog to record my cooking adventures and to make a few friends along the way.<\/p>\n

The blog is named Cooking on a Dime because one of the main reasons we opted to start cooking from home more often was to save money. I don\u2019t think that good food needs to use a bunch of exotic ingredients to taste good (but sometimes I venture out… sometimes). I not a gourmet cook, in fact I am what could be considered to be a \u201cnewbie\u201d chef, I started to stretch my philosophical \u201ccooking wings\u201d at the age of 30. Hopefully as I learn and grow, so will this food blog.<\/p>\n

My blog was temporarily put on hold for most of 2011 due to my battling breast cancer (and the lack of energy to cook). I have a renewed energy focused on eating good home cooked food with lots of veggies and fruits whenever possible (but life is too short to not eat butter).<\/p>\n
