Wow, has really been almost two months since my last blog? I’m still here and I’m still cooking. I’m starting a new blog specifically designed around my Personal Chef Business and I’m going to use this one for my random ramblings. Everyone has been asking about my business and whether it’s a success. I guess it depends on how you define success. Am I getting rich? Hahahahaha…no. I am staying busy though. We’ve almost got enough to stay on top of our bills. But as far as I am concerned, It’s a success! I LOVE what I do now,my clients have been giving me wonderful feedback and my family is enthusiastically supportive, all except for my youngest who isn’t appreciating the financial cutbacks he’s been asked to make..but he’s 17, so GET A JOB! – I can be snarky now, because this is my personal blog. 
The best part of my job is cooking for regular people. It’s nice cooking in the fancy kitchen’s of upscale neighborhood in Loch Loydd or Mission Hills, but what makes me happiest is cooking for families just like mine, who’s lives have gotten so busy trying to make ends meet that “making dinner” is just one more stress they could do without. They are wonderfully appreciative and I really feel like I’m doing something good in the universe when I can make their lives a little easier and healthier. So against the advise of my Personal Chef Association, I lowered my prices to where I’m only making about $100 per client. It’s crazy, I know but it’s the only way I can keep doing what I love.
So that’s what I’ve been up to. Redesigning my website and business plans, cooking regularly and surviving a house filled with testosterone. My oldest moved out around Christmas but is back almost daily to do laundry or raid my refrigerator. We still have our unofficial adopted son. (Who’s dad decided to move out of the state without even tell us) and both my younger boys are Juniors in high school. Troy’s been busy with the new camera I got him for his 40th Birthday and his band stuff and of course acting as my taste tester for new recipes. My band has some shows lined up for the summer and I’m getting anxious to start planting my garden. You’re all caught up!
Nice to see you are doing good, but I can also see your updates on facebook. I am still holding out for a potluck some day, I did a trial run yesterday and was pretty happy with the results.
Facebook is a big reason why I don’t blog as often. I loved your stuffed peppers recipe. I never thought of adding carrots. They looked delicious. I <3 potlucks!
