And so it begins...

Hello World!

So this is my first blog post on my first blog ever and I'm just feeling my way around in the darkness.  I've always enjoyed writing and creating new things and sharing random facts with whoever will listen.  I'm hopeful this blog will stumble into something interesting for you.  If not I apologize in advance. So far I've titled it Sunday Afternoons, not necessarly meaning I'll only post at that time, but more accurately I'm hoping to portray that laid back, hanging on the couch in your favorite sweats kind of feeling.  At least that's what we do around my house on Sunday afternoon.

To tell a little about myself.  I'm a 26 year old small town girl, still living in said small town, married to small town high school sweetheart.  I'm slowly becoming that crazy coupon lady...I've even started a coupon binder and enjoy sorting my free money as I like to call it haha...I'll probably end up posting frequently about that since this is growing into a thrilling obsession for me! I have aspirations of becoming a writer, teacher, photographer, singer (because we all secretly want to go on American Idol and become the next Carrie Underwood.  Don't shake your head no, lying especially to yourself is never a good thing.) chef, book editor......well the list goes on and on.  So far I'm on track to becoming an elementary school teacher just like my mommy and I'm looking forward to the adventure.  God blessed me with the best parents.  I was definitely a Daddy's girl growing up, spending much of my childhood around football and baseball players being a coach's daughter.  Although my father is no longer with us, I feel blessed to have what time we did together, I know others aren't so lucky.

Lately, I have been trying to improve my ways around the kitchen.  It started out trying to please the hubby and expand the menu at our house and has grown in to a passion.  I plan to share a recipe with each post. I'll let you know if it was a success or failure, failures hopefully being few and far between.

So let's get to it!

Recipe numero uno is my go to recipe these days, Crispy Santa Fe Chicken, or as I call it just Crispy Chicken.  We (sorry more accurately I) probably make this once a week.  This was one of the first recipes I tried off of kraftfoods.com, a website that I absolutely love, and it meets the only two criteria I have for making it into my recipe book >>> It has to be delicious and EASY to make! I hope you give it a try, oh and I only add the salsa when my side dishes are more of a mexican flavor like spanish rice and beans.

I'll close with a favorite bible verse of mine that comforts me during my daily walk with God.  Blessings to all :)

"For I know the plans I have for you" declares the Lord, "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
