There's always a first for everything!

Well I never thought the day would come that I'd be starting a blog (though I may well be the very last to do it).

I would like to introduce you to Pot Luck Be A Lady Tonight, where you can find easy recipes, kitchen tips and tricks, inspiring food ideas, and a new desire for healthy (and indulgent) eating. 

I am by no means an expert, I haven't been classically trained, and I don't plan on cooking an insane recipe a day a la "Julie and Julia" (too lazy).  But if you use your fridge more for beer than your groceries, maybe this can be a first for you as well.

My goal is to add a little variety to your lives and show you how easy it can be to make an alternative shepherd's pie instead of heading for your frozen dinner stash.  

I'm no saint - I don't measure calories and I don't turn down ice cream (or beer).  I like to eat well so I can indulge.  It's all about balance and the joy (I think I'm aging prematurely) of the kitchen.

For those of you who could be a contestant on "Chopped", don't judge - I hope you can add some expertise to the thousands of followers...

I look forward to hearing some suggestions about what you want to make in my kitchen!
