Our First Post - About Us

Hi all (: (This is Abby, btw)  So if you follow my blog(s), then you know I already have 3. Yep, 3. Why in the world do I need another blog?? I have no idea. BUT I had the idea lurking around in my brain for a few weeks. I have always wanted to start a blog with someone else. I immediately thought of Camille, so I asked her. A bit out of the blue, I might add. I was chatting to her, and all of a sudden I just blurted out "Hey, Camille, wanna start a cooking blog?" And she was like "Uhhh.... yea!"

So we did.

As Camille stated in her bio, Camille and I have actually never met in person. We met off of another friends blog. Both of us new her, but we didn't know each other yet. We used to live in the same place, and then we both moved on the opposite side of the country. I really wish I got to meet her before we moved, but anyways. This blog is mainly about cooking. (Ok, it's all about cooking.) I imagine that if your here right now, then your, uh, fond of cooking too. Camille and I really enjoy cooking/baking! (Duuh...... just stating the obvious here.)

We will be sharing our best recipes here, along with techniques and maybe some posts about what we think of different products.

Keep in mind that this blog is not to boast about or show off our cooking skills. We are simply here because
#1: we uh, like to cook.
#2: we want to share our recipes with you in hopes you will try them out and enjoy!

We are always open to suggestions and ways you think would help improve our blog. Any recipes you might want to share, send them to our e-mail address and we will consider posting them. (: You can also share anything in the comments.

While we're on the subject of comments - don't be afraid to! (I mean, come on, it's not like if you post a comment it's going to bite you or anything....) We love getting comments, because it's a way of seeing that we really are appreciated for all that hard work. (: I once almost dropped my camera in a hot oven trying to take a picture of the food halfway done. You had to see my face when the camera (it was a nice one, btw. Haha) slipped out of my hands, and also my face of relief once I realized I had the strap around my wrist.

This blog is not a place for rude or mean behavior. Bad words, discouragement, or any of the like is not exceptable. As cliche as it might sound, we still don't take it lightly. This is a Christian website and rudeness is not aloud. We hope you will be able to follow the rules and also enjoy our blog! It is important for us to keep this, and all our other, blogs family friendly and we will not have any unacceptable behavior on our blog.

Ok, now let's take a look at some of the *awesome* people who run this blog!  (haha)

About Camille:

Hi!! My name is Camille, I have 6 brothers and sisters, and I am homeschooled. I LOVE serving God through music, and I play the flute, harp, and piano. I enjoy reading, babysitting, and sewing (when I can find time!!). I also enjoy cooking very much!! :) I love making desserts and breakfasts the best, but I also like to make dinners as well. My favorite dinner dish is Poppy seed Chicken (we will be sharing that recipe with you soon!) My favorite dessert is Pumpkin Stuff (you're like "What?? I've never heard of that before,"......most people haven't...LOL. (Yes, we'll be posting this too.) And my favorite side dish is Sweet Potato Casserole. LOVE IT TO DEATH!! LOL!! I am in love with Paula Dean's cooking...she is my cooking hero, so be prepared to see her version of a lot of the recipes that I post. Most of the stuff I post will be homemade, but I know that finding the time to make things yourself is not easy...my family struggles with that too!! So every recipe I post may not be homemade...but seriously, there IS a big difference. If you have ever tasted a homemade cake and tried one made from the box afterward, you understand what I mean. ;)

I am so excited about doing this blog with Abby!! Abby and I have never actually met in person, but we know each other through email and chat correspondence. We basically know each other through one of my greatest friends who I am friends with and she is also friends with. We met through her blog and started emailing each other (and commenting on each others blogs. ;D). Anyway, you're probably like "If you don't know each other then how did you make this blog together?" Well, we did it through email and chatting. I'm sure it would have been easier if we could have just been together in real life (LOL) but we live on two completely different parts of the Country. lol!! :)

Anyway, I was supposed to keep this brief and I have failed. ;) I just wanted you to get to know me a little better. Please feel free to check out my style blog (my button is on the sidebar) and my main blog. My main blog is private because I had some yahoos on it, and I wasn't comfortable with that. :) If you would like to see my main blog (most likely you are not a yahoo....when I say that word, I mean it in relation to creepy people who had no business lurking on my blog), then drop me a comment on my style blog in the most recent post and I'll let ya'll view it. :)  It has more personal info and pictures of me and my family on it...I also post the most on that blog.

Anyway, please stay tuned to How Do We Boil Water? to see some awesome recipes and cooking tips from Abby and I!! :)

About Abby:

I love to cook. (Great opening sentence, huh? Real thought out.) I love to do lot's of things Like... *takes deep breath* write, read, run, skateboard, camp, water ski, tube, snow ski, go sledding, go on hikes, blog, paint my nails, make jewelry, make cards, crochet, knit, listen to music, babysit, craft, and more. (Haha, yea, I like to do even more than that.)

I'm 13 years young (lol I just used my dads trick... not sure that it works for me..) and I have 2 younger sisters and an older brother. (Not nearly as many as Camille.) I also have a dog, who acts like a person, but that doesn't count as a sibling, right??

Hmm.... I was re-reading Camille's bio and she has like all this cool stuff about all she likes to bake and all of that, and I'm just like.... "I like to cook." Haha... well, I'm kinda known around here for making cookies, particularly chocolate chip cookies, but any kind mostly. I also love to bake any sweets. And yes, I do love to eat them more. I'm a pig. Haha. Just kidding. Well, sorta. (Woah! I just wrote like 4 fragments! My grammar teacher would not be happy. lol) You will mostly see desserts from me, but I also like to cook dinners, and that sorta thing. (: Sorry I'm not going in to full detail like Camille did.. I'm sorta just dragging this along.

I'm homeschooled and I'm a Follower of Christ (in other words, I'm a Christian) (: I'm not exactly sure if I felt like God was asking me to start a cooking blog, but I know if He needs something to happen through this, then He will.
I am so happy that we now have this blog! Camille and I have been wanting to do this for a while and we were just too busy until now to open it up.

Wow, reading my bio over, I literally talked about nothing. Oh well. If you read our blog, you'll probably find out more about me. Speaking of that, I have 3 other blogs, which are linked at the top right of our blog. Check them out if you want. (: (please)

So that's a little about us (this is Camille by the way). We are both looking forward to posting our first recipe, which will be happening very soon.

If you could, please follow our blog!! :) We love to see who is reading, and we also love to visit your blogs too!!

Thanks so much for stopping by, and please stay tuned to see tons of mouth watering recipes for you to enjoy!!
