Two weeks ago, shortly after Chris and I moved in together, I started cooking all our meals. We fell into a great routine where we make dinner every night and eat the leftovers for lunch the next day. Once a week, we go out.

So, the five reasons I'm starting this blog: 1. I need a new challenge (I already said that). I spend a lot of time at work. A lot....
