Some may be slowly discovering this about me…but I am a bit of blog junkie lately. I go through phases when I really don’t have time to write much of my own and certainly not to read many others, but thanks to Google Reader, I do manage to keep up with quite a few of my favorites.

You may have noticed by the size of our kitchen that we like to cook. We haven’t been able to do that as often as we’d like lately since we still don’t have our countertop yet (don’t get me started…it’s on our To Do list for the weekend to order it finally) but that doesn’t stop me from browsing cooking blogs and looking at tons of recipes. One of my newest favorite food blogs is called Homesick Texan. It’s written by another misplaced Texas girl who just needs a bit of down home cooking every once and a while…and the recipes she features in there are really incredible. Such as her post yesterday – Independence and Chicken Fried Steak. I basically bookmark every recipe she talks about so I can go back to them later. I can’t wait to start trying them out and I’ll try to share some of my thoughts when I finally do!
