Cooking
When I was dating my husband he told me that his family all cooked from scratch. Like a fool I believed him and learned how to cook from scratch. It has taken a while but I can do it and almost everything turns out good. The ones that don’t, I never make again. This has led me to always be on the lookout for new recipes and cookbooks. When I ask for any ideas for dinner from friends I get a lot of use the helper meals which are great in a pinch. However I always have to explain that in my house they are not allowed since my husband doesn’t consider that cooking. People then have a lot of names for him and things to say but I have learned that it is actually cheaper to not use the helper meals and sometimes easier. I also am glad since it has forced me to be open to more things and we eat a wider variety of food now. The one bad thing is that I always seem to make a big mess and the meals he loves are the ones that make the worst messes of all. So anyway if anyone has any ideas for some simple meals and are willing to share let me know. I will be posting some of my recipes as well to share.
