Getting Started

Here we are!  I've finally taken a leap of faith and started a blog!!!  I've been talking/thinking about this for a while now.  During the last half of 2012, with the support of my husband, I made a life changing decision for 2013.  I volunteered for the midnight shift! I have been working the afternoon shift for the last 6 years.  I now have 2 beautiful little girls (currently 5 months and 2.5 yrs) and an amazing husband and I HATE leaving them in the evenings!  I want to be a "family" and have "family time" together instead of my husband and I raising the girls as single parents.  I have them all day while he's at work...then he has them all evening while I'm at work.  Now, I work while everyone is sleeping. I take the girls to the babysitter and sleep during the day while hubby is at work, then we get to spend the evenings all together!  Another GREAT aspect of this schedule is I will now be able to cook for my family!!!!  I love cooking!  I think dinners around a dinner table are very important in a family.  TV goes off, cell phones get put away, it's family time!  I love entertaining and cooking for a group as well!
This blog is just for fun.  My intention is to blog about food (mostly dinners) I make.  Sharing recipes, pictures, and maybe a review here or there from my husband, girls, and anyone who happens to stop by for a bite.  I may have to throw in a few antics from my 2 year old!  She's a nut and you never know what may come out of her mouth!  She keeps us laughing!
You're probably wondering where the name of this blog came from.  Well, it seems I always come up with a great idea for something I'd like to make so I jump right in and get started...however, I never check to see if I have all the ingredients I need...and I usually don't! LOL  So, I end up substituting whatever I can find and pray it turns out! :-)  There you have it  Substitution and a Prayer!
If you happen to stumble across me here, Welcome!  I hope you'll stick around and enjoy!
