Seven Lessons Learned

This past weekend was definitely an adventure in the kitchen. I tried 4 new recipes, homemade granola, maple syrup, blueberry pancakes and pot roast. The last three compliments of a cookbook by Trisha Yearwood. They were all easy and delicious, but along the way I learned seven important things.

• Homemade syrup if not watched carefully will boil over and smoke up your kitchen before you can say "oops."
• I will never win Pancake Cooker of the Year. My technique can use some help.
• Yes, a pot roast can cook on the stove top and turn out delicious.
• Lemon zest and blueberries are simply delicious together.
• Letting homemade granola cool after baking is super important if you don't want it to be a big ball of granola.
• Take pictures of what I make.
• I use the word delicious way to much in this post.

Happy Cooking!
