Once upon a time, when most people hadn't heard of the word "blog," I created a little space for my recipes, restaurant musings, and cooking ideas at ZenFoodism.com. In fact, it was at just the time food blogs were becoming ubiquitous and legitimate. I met some cool, smart food bloggers and grew to have a small following of regular visitors.
Friends and family still sometimes ask me if I post to Zen Foodism. For many reasons, I haven't... in almost 2 years. I've been busy with a barfy pregnancy, writing a book, and new-mama mania.
But now I'd like to resurrect my little foodie project in an effort to organize and share my recipes for myself and for any friends who are interested in recipe ideas. I'm not the top cook around, by any means. But I relish reading and culling recipes. And I've even found a tiny bit of my pre-baby sanity again... maybe just enough to try a new technique once in a while.
Bottom line is: I need to cook for my husband and son. It's kinda my main job now. But I refuse to turn to pizza and chicken nuggets (especially dinosaur-shaped). The baby (now 13 months old) will eat what we eat, and we need to eat better. At the same time, I hate doing dishes. So I need to be smart and efficient with my shopping and prep and messes.
I will get my act together to try my best for my little family. But I refuse to go crazy. It will be zen!

I printed one of your recipes back in 2005. It was Diane's pecan balls. I've never tried to make them until this morning. I don't get it. Clearly doing it wrong. I can't get the little sugar balls off the wax paper after they froze overnight. trying to dip them in the caramel once I get this mushy little things off has been an exercise in futility. I've eaten a couple of my ruined ones and they taste delicious. unfortunately since I can't figure it out and putting a whole lot of it in the trash. What did I do wrong?
