History of the Buds

A few years ago (let's not say how many so I dont feel so old okay?) in the wonderful city of Bellingham, Washington two girls were attending college. One girl was living at the famous (in small circles at least) G Street house. The other girl lived in nice little houses with friends. These girls became friends then roommates in Utah. While waiting for Jennifer to move from WA to UT, Aliza began her culinary expeditions. Peanut butter and jelly was about as far as she got to tell the truth. Things got better when Jennifer moved into the apartment. Top Ramen Chicken Salad, pasta with chicken, Mexican chicken (it seems like a lot of chicken was eaten, but I know there were other things too), and yummy brownies followed for the next year and a half. Then Aliza got married, Jenny moved back to Washington, Jenny got married, and so here we are a few years later. Aliza now lives in South Carolina and Jen lives in Washington. Both have families but have stayed in touch all these years.

We are buds, we like to cook, it's fun to share cooking adventures-good or bad-, and it's fun to see what other people are eating. I feel like I get in a rut of what to cook. Jenny had this great idea to do a blog about recipes we like, don't like, want to try, cookbooks to try, and anything doing with cooking. I think it's a great idea, so here I am. I hope that we can find some good things to share and have fun while we do it. So here we go....
