First Post... Hollaaaa!<span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" >As a long-time lover of all things food-related (restaurants, BBQs, birthday cakes...), I found my general interest in food taking a somewhat different turn after I graduated college. Leaving a situation where meals were prepared for me every day through meal plans and on-campus dining options and entering the "real world" for the first time, I realized I was responsible for creating my own meals.<br /><br />I could no longer depend on the trusty catering services of my sorority house or my mom's fantastic homemade dinners. My food was now in my control.</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:100%;" > </span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:georgia;font-size:100%;" >Initially I found myself gravitating toward easy meals - Lean Cuisine frozen entrees, quick-cooking oatmeal, turkey sandwiches... well that got really boring, really fast.<br /><br />Now I love finding new recipes, using fresh ingredients, veggies and fruits to create delicious meals and treats.</span><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:100%;" > </span><span style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);font-family:georgia;" ><span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:100%;" >Although experimenting in the kitchen is something I truly love, I must say I think there are two foods that are more delicious than anything else in the world: soft serve ice cream and Cheez-its.</span><br /></span><a style="font-weight: bold;" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://marcopolosfrozentreats.com/images/icecream2_copy.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 268px; height: 344px;" src="http://marcopolosfrozentreats.com/images/icecream2_copy.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://content.etilize.com/Large/1010042087.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; float: left; cursor: pointer; width: 222px; height: 222px;" src="http://content.etilize.com/Large/1010042087.jpg" alt="" border="0" /></a>Juliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10035061382586926797noreply@blogger.com1
