Here we go again!

First I will admit this is probably the 5th blog I have created and if previous ones are any indicator of future results, all does not bode well for this blog!  All kidding aside, this is a continuation of a blog my wife Sara and I started in 2011 called Cooked Through.  The premise of that blog was to review the recipes from, cover to cover, a cookbook we loved from America's Test Kitchen.  The concept was good but ultimately failed simply because cooking from ATK recipes every week became a bit too much of a chore.  ATK recipes are the best but they are often very time consuming.  Another issue is we wanted to be able to share our cooking experiences with these recipes but couldn't actually share the recipes themselves due to copyright issues and I think this led to a lack of cohesiveness in the blog.
This led to a change in our cooking style and where we sourced our cooking inspiration.  With the increasing popularity of food and recipe blogs and many other cooking sites, we found lots of new material for a blog.  The limitless variety of cooking styles and cuisines on the internet means I'll never be bored in the kitchen.  The added bonus is that by being able to put a link to the recipes means that now I can finally share a complete experience for my readers.  Another factor in this change is that our home responsibilities shifted which put me in the kitchen cooking most of the meals.
So with a new head chef, here is a new blog!
