Better than I know myself?

Drew and I have known each other for a decent amount of time now - three years. And, in that time, we've experienced job struggles (unemployment and deployment) as well as long distance hurdles (Iraq vs. Ohio) which have taught us a lot about each other. Most importantly, over these last three years we've become to understand each others personalities (when to talk, when to listen), dreams, goals, dislikes, vices, etc.

As I mentioned in my previous post, my bridesmaids and girlfriends threw me a bachelorette party. Well, during that party they had a sneaky game they conjured up with Drew's help. They had emailed him questions about us. It started out easy, and overall I did pretty well. Of course, Drew was answering these so I argued quite a few (which he later said he had to make interesting). But, one question did catch me off guard: "What's Megan's dream Job?"Dream Job? I thought my dream job was to work in news, but I already accomplished that and I'm not doing it anymore. Nope, not that. Something in the health field? Hmm that could work, but I have to think like Drew... what would Drew say? "Not working. Being a mom?"
WRONG! "A food blogger" is Drew's answer.It still amazes me that he said that, until I stop to think about it. I love to write. I love looking up recipes and I of course love to bake. Food blogging would be a fabulous job! And, I could do it from home. The only problem is, I'm not a very good cook. Okay, I take that back, I'm not a very risk taking cook. I just never feel confident enough to try something new. I still to the basics. That, and I feel like I don't have the right ingredients or the right appliance. Well, I might not be the best cook. And, I might not get paid for my services, but I am going to try and be better at cooking and sharing my work with you - whoever reads this - Kelli, I think you still do! I've been finding a lot of good recipes on Pintrest and experimenting with vegetarian dishes. Just the other night, I made this spinach and canelli bean pasta for Lent.Of course, I had to find a way to bake, so I made these treats for St. Patrick's day. Gluten free "oreo"' truffles and chocolate covered strawberries. Drew loved them and so did my co-workers. That is one thing I really want to learn to do better: gluten free meals. I always hesitate to bring or make anything gluten free for non-family members because if it's not passed the family test, then I am scared to have others try it first.
