Hello Again & Food Without Stories

Hello again!

We haven’t met in this space in a long time, and it looks a lot different, if you used to visit before.

Writing is something I love and appreciate, but I’m going to be honest with you about something -

I have a hard time doing something I enjoy because I enjoy it.

Whenever I pick up a hobby or start a project, I feel the need to try to monetize it. Now, I don’t have an issue with monetizing blogs or Instagram accounts or whatever it is you do on the side. In fact, I’m very impressed with people who do that successfully. But whenever I try to go back to blogging, I feel the need to be extremely consistent, check constantly to see if my views are increasing, do things just for content rather than because I want to. And that is just not sustainable for me.

There will be no posting schedule. There will be no telling what it is I might write about. But here is one thing I am excited for:

posting recipes without an article attached.

You read that right! I’m going to share recipes that I try out, and it will only be a photo or two, ingredients, and directions! And they will all be tagged and in one location! Sure, you’ll see them pop up on the regular blog feed in between whatever else I post about, but you won’t have to sift through a personal anecdote with every single recipe.

I can not stand it when I’m just trying to find a side dish to go with dinner that evening, and I see something that looks delicious, easy, and maybe I even already have those ingredients in the fridge? and I can’t even find the recipe, because I’m reading about someone’s cat allergy, the new car that Nissan is loaning them, or that their mom was spy in the military (ok, I might want to read that one) and they’ve hidden the actual reason why I’m there. Sure, I want to read about those other things, but WHEN I’M HUNGRY AND TRYING TO COOK IS NOT. THE. TIME.

So, if you’ve made it this far, feel free to stick around and read all of the other shit I’ll be posting about whenever I feel like it! Or just click on that little RECIPES link up there and find what you came for.
