new recipes!

Yesterday was Ben's birthday, and unfortunately I had to work, but we did make a run for some mexican food when he got home last night to celebrate! I am really starting to get used to working the day shift, and I am loving being at home at night with Benny! Now that I am on a more normal schedule, I am starting to cook more. It has taken me a while to get the cooking bug, and I am slowly learning how to cook from my sweet mother and friends who are constantly giving me great ideas, recipes, and websites! Thank you all! Here is one website that a friend at work told me about that gives you great recipes that are actually low fat! www.skinnytaste.com. I have made the White Bean Turkey Chili and it is so good, and even better the next day!
