Introducing...Fat Bird Kitchen!

Don't let the blog name fool you. Fat Bird kitchen has nothing to do with the meals that I cook - although chicken and turkey will frequently be on the menu. Those who know me well, know that I have a slight obsession with small and plump outdoor birds. The little fat birds (also known as "winter birds") are adorable. It makes me happy that they are clearly well-fed. You can always spot these guys hanging outside the local restaurants. They are smarter and more resourceful than their skinnier friends! :)

This blog is a way for me to keep record of all the recipes I try, the tweaks I make to them, and the overall opinion of how they turn out. I am usually just cooking for my boyfriend, Mark and myself, but I also cook for friends and family. I will try to include opinions from all taste-testers :)

I hope that anyone who follows Fat Bird Kitchen will be inspired to recreate some of my kitchen successes and I welcome any and all suggestions/comments! Keep in mind that while I do have a few "staple dishes" that I am pretty confident in, most of these will be new recipes that I am trying for the first time, so I am learning as I go.
