Here is my thought process behind this page: If I post about it, maybe (hopefully; Oh.God.Please) I’ll stay accountable for it. I’ll update it with my training and what I’ve accomplished.

I’ve been itching to try this, too, but never can seem to stick with it past Week 1. Keep up the good work. I just came across your site, but a standby recipe I’ve liked is Ellie Krieger’s White Chili, if you haven’t tried it already. I think it’s killer. Have a nice day!
I’m glad you stumbled upon my site!! I will definitely be looking up that recipe right now! Thanks for the tip! xo – Marie
