Yogurt.

I think that the "Fat Free" or "Sugar Free" or "Light" yogurt and pudding desserts are the most brilliant food invention ever.  Here's why:

1. Because they are simply delicious.
2. They totally satisfy my dessert cravings because they taste exactly like the desserts!
3. They are only 60 or 100 calories for the whole thing!
4. They're only 50 cents each.
5. You can try a ton of different flavors and so far they've all been delicious!

My favorite: Banana Cream Pie Yogurt.  My Second Favorite: Boston Cream Pie Pudding.

Heaven in a little low calorie cup.  :)

This is a fork. This is a spoon.

Have you ever played that game? You sit in a circle, and pass the fork one way and the spoon another way. It goes: "This is a fork." "A what?" "A fork." Then to the next person: "This is a fork." "A what?" "A what? "A what?" "A fork." "A fork." "A fork." etc. The spoon goes the other direction and they keep passing it person to person. It's pretty funny and with lots of people it can get all confusing :)

Anyway, my point of this post is not for that game (even though I love that fabulous game). It is because sometimes, like you can be in that game, I am backwards with forks and spoons. Ask my old roommates, for example. They will tell you that I like to eat my ice cream with a fork. Yup. A fork. And my peanut butter. And occasionally my chocolate pudding (but that doesn't work as well because it's hard to scoop it out of the bottom).

So the other day, I wanted to eat my leftover Cafe Rio. But all the forks were dirty. So I pulled out a spoon. Yup. A spoon. And I ate my burrito with a spoon. And it was delicious! So there's two conclusions we can come to here: I could be crazy and backwards and seriously confused, or I could just really love my food so much that it doesn't matter what utensil I use as long as it gets the job done. Hahaha, I prefer the second option, but take your pick! Give me a fork, and I'll use it like a spoon :)

In the Beginning.

So if any of you knew me at all in my Teenage years, you know that I have a lot of fun in the kitchen. I love to cook, experiment, come up with new recipes, and most of all make lots of messes. Until I fulfilled it in my first year of marriage, I had been working very hard towards my goal to be able to make cookies without spilling all over the floor... Needless to say, it was not my parents' favorite thing when I decided to cook!

But I still did anyway! And I was not good at it at all. Brock will testify to that. He can tell you about my cooking when we first got married :) It was pretty funny. But I have gotten soooooooo much better since then. In fact, I would call myself a fantastic cook! It is one of my joys in life.

As my 2011 New Years Resolution, I set a goal to cook at least 2 good meals every week. Then it would pretty much add up to 4 good meals because there's only two of us at home so we'd have plenty of leftovers!

And I am proud to say that it is now February 1st, and I have kept my resolution so far! Yay! Some of the highlights I've made: Chipotle BBQ Chicken Wings, Ham Fried Rice, Crock Pot Lasagna, White Chicken Chili, and Honey BBQ Ribs. All were brilliant successes and so delicious!

So as I was going about this resolution, I realized that pretty much all of my Facebook Status Posts were about food! First I thought, "How incredibly embarrassing!" But then, I decided it was awesome. And I want to make a blog about food. Oh, and by the way, my name's Aubrey. And here is my blog... about what happens when you give a girl a spatula. ;) Enjoy!
