Dear Readers,

Welcome to my public blog. I use this blog now only for my non-family related posts. All of our family posts, including pictures and videos of our little guy, can now be seen on our private blog. Our private blog can be found HERE.

If you like to use Google Reader or blog lists to see when a blog has been updated, just keep this blog on those lists. I will put a post up on this blog letting you know I have posted on our private blog so that you will still get the updates.

If you would like an invitation to our private blog please leave your email address in a comment on this blog - comments must be approved prior to posting so no one else will see your address. Please don't hesitate to ask for an invitation if you have enjoyed keeping up with us through this blog. Blog Stalkers, it is time to make yourselves known! :) Seriously though, please ask for an invite if you want one and if you think I might not know who you are just give me a little reminder of how I know you.

Happy Blogging! -Lara

Cooking 101

I was watching a morning news show yesterday and they had a guest chef on who did a spot on "Confidence in the Kitchen". It was all about how you can learn to throw together recipes on your own if you know the basics. She has these cool cards that tell you what ingredients to use for certain types of dishes. I thought these were great because I am always wondering what to use to make my sauce a bit more "Italian" or my stir-fry a bit more "Chinese". Now I know! Here are the links so you can print them out yourself:

Supply List for Mexican, Italian and Indian

Supply List for Chinese, Japanese and Thai

The only thing missing for me is a list for Mediterranean, which has become a new favorite of mine. For that though you just need a healthy dose of Feta cheese, some hummus, a good pita, and of course some Tzatziki sauce!
