Happy New Year!

Well, here it is, my first blog-ever! Welcome to In & Out of the Kitchen with Brandie-that's me! :)

I LOVE to cook, I love to entertain, I love to host a great get-together! Ask anyone...they'll testify to that!

First off I would like to extend my gratitude to those who threw ideas at me for my blog name contest; do you know how hard it is to come up with a name? YIKES! After sifting through a couple dozen ideas, I decided to combine a few suggestions to create one name and that's how I came up with In & Out of the Kitchen with Brandie. While my blog will primarily be directed towards my delicious creations in the kitchen, I will some times stray to other things such as my family, my animals, my life, etc. But all-in-all, food is my emphasis here.

Please be ready for hungry man-style meals, meals that will test the waters of your healthy side. My food has been known to add a few additional pounds to the scale. On occasion I do tend to alter recipes by replacing ingredients with something similar, or, something in a homemade version (like homemade cream of chicken soup vs the canned stuff-YUK!). I'm not a photographer, I take pics with my phone of my creations, so some pics are clear, some are not.

Care to follow me on Facebook? Here's my page www.facebook.com/brandieskitchen

I look forward to blogging with & for you :)

Happy New Year!!
