It all started...

I've never been a fantastic cook. I actually just started learning to cook MAYBE six months ago...I don't even know if it's been that long. Looking back on those first recipes I stumbled through makes me smile now. I was so proud! I don't think they were really that good though. I couldn't even cook ground beef back then!

See I always had this fear of cooking something for people and then they all get food poisoning because I didn't cook it long enough! I'm slowly getting over that fear and my cooking is improving so much! If you would have told me a year ago about all the stuff I'd be cooking now, I would've called you crazy! I've really enjoyed learning how to cook new things and I haven't hardly made the same thing for dinner all but a few times! I'm glad that I've started learning because it's becoming one of my favorite things to do! And I'd like to share that here with you as I hopefully just keep improving and maybe I'll even Invent some new recipes along the way!

That brings me to my next point...I don't claim any of these recipes as my own. Most I find online and some in cookbooks or that my family has had around forever since I can remember. So unless I specify otherwise, I do not claim these recipes in any way.

So here's my first recipe post! I made this just the other day and my grandparents absolutely loved it! It was my first shot at fudge and i'm happy to say it turned out great!
