Under the Influence…… of movies.

Ok, so I was thinking about this the other day and decided to blog about it. I don’t know if it is something that just affects me, or if this is fairly common. I think it is probably common :)

Whenever I watch a movie, it seems like I immediately want to try to do whatever that character is doing. I watch a movie about ice skating, and all of a sudden I realize that my life long dream is, in fact, to become the world’s best ice skater! Wait…. then I watch Step Up 2 and all of a sudden I am certain that I could do the whole dance scene. Well, this is definitely not the case if you have ever seen me dance, but you get the point. So, I am now under the influence of Julia. After watching Julie and Julia a a while back, I realized something; I need to cook more. I love to cook, and am actually not bad, I have just never consistently cooked. Sure, I will make an amazing meal every couple months, but then it is back to frozen pizzas and grilled cheese sandwiches.

So over the past week or so, I have decided that this year will be my year to dive into those cookbooks and recipes and really start cooking more often. So far, I have done really well. I have tried 3 new meal ideas in about a week. That has to be some kind of record for me. Travis loves that I am cooking more, because it means he gets to eat all the new stuff. Let’s see how he feels when I fail. I will keep you updated.

Well, I just wanted to share my new obsession. If you have any awesome recipes, be sure and share them!
