The web is a never ending maze of web pages, blogs and stuff. While on a clicking high I ended up on someone’s blog which led me to someone else’s who had a great idea which I will be copying. It’s called a CILTE list, which stands for Crap I Like To Eat…Which I think is great, although I think I’ll call it something a little more my style, so it’s my foodie file. I’m constantly forgetting recipes that I love, blanking on meal ideas, and just losing all desire to cook, so this is my quick (I haven’t written recipes for them all yet) reference guide. I would whole heartedly reccomend reading the blog post that inspired me and coming up with your own list. I just think this is a fun idea and I want to take it a step farther and make this list into a permanent page on my blog and keep updating it. there’s no rhyme or reason to it…just a list of food that I like to eat.
