Alana:(ah-LAH-nah)
I'm not a chef.  I'm just a girl who loves to eat.

That's me, Freedom Barbie!

This blog will chronicle my personal culinary journey as I attempt to create one new delectable dish every week in 2011. This will be a year brimming with baking, boiling, brewing, broiling, browning, frying, grilling, heating, roasting, simmering, sizzling, steaming, steeping, stewing, and toasting....

My hope is that this challenge will better me as a wife, cook, musician, and a Barbie!

Please join me each week as I jump on the "4" Train from the Upper East Side straight to Yum City....

....................................................................................

Rules:
1)Each dish must be something I have never made before
2)The majority of dishes mush be lactose-free
(Ben aka Hubble is a intolerant of that enzyme)
3)I must use the proteins and fresh ingredients lurking in my kitchen before buying new
4)Have fun!

LADIES AND GENTLEMEN,
LET THE GAMES BEGIN!
