I've lamented how difficult it can be to make new friends as an adult on my personal blog. About 18 months ago a client was upgrading their accounting software and I spent an awful lot of time on the phone with them getting everything configured and issues worked out. Jen was my primary contact for the upgrade so we talked quite often. I liked Jen and figure we would be pretty good friends, but was a little worried about approaching a friendship since she was a client... and I didn't want to make the situation uneasy if she wasn't interested in a friendship. Thankfully, she asked me to go to lunch about 6 months ago, and we've been great friends ever since!
So, without further delay, I'd like to introduce you to a dear friend of mine, Jen. Jen and Becca also know each other, and while Jen's not quite a few blocks away, nothing is far away in Grand Forks. So we'll all be getting together at least once a month for a dinner to share. My hubby's comment last night is that he and the other hubbies are the ones to benefit from this arrangement. Jen will also be sharing recipes from time to time, so hopefully we'll get a bit more variety here for you.

Welcome Becca!
About 6 years ago I had recently moved back to North Dakota and didn't know a soul except my honey's family. In an attempt to pull together my clutter I joined FlyLady, and while I don't really follow her methods anymore I did come away with two things.
The first: you don't have to clean the whole house right now, just spend what little time you do have right now (5, 10 or 15 minutes) and do something.
The second: a friendship with Becca, who I met through the FlyBabies in ND group.
Becca and I have been friends since first meeting in my dining room 6 years ago. We used to live just a few blocks away from each other on the other end of town, and then both moved within a few months of each other a few blocks away again. Totally coincidence, we didn't plan it, but it's been handy. Especially, when we're often the last ones at each others parties as we talk and laugh late in the night.
So, without further delay, I'd like to introduce you to a dear friend of mine, Becca. She is also an avid cook and we share recipes and a love of kitchen gadgets! I'd like to share recipes a little more frequently, but I find it somewhat difficult since most dishes are just thrown together with what I have on hand. Becca will be sharing recipes as well from now on to give you a little more variety. Also, she and I will be getting together once a month to cook and share the recipes and results. I do hope you'll join us.
I'm going to be moving my Menu Planning posts over to this blog as well starting next week and post a new recipe from my previous menu each week.
