I'll admit that cooking has always intimidated me. Mostly because of the amount of times that I've burned things like a pot while boiling water and the amount of times that I've had food poisoning. But lately, I've been becoming more "domesticated." By that, I just mean actually doing things such as mopping the floor every couple of days and keeping things relatively tidy. But I've also been getting in to cooking.
It began when my mother in law was staying with us after the move. She cooked for us and I was determined to learn from her. I learned how to make stuffed pork chops, mashed potatoes from real potatoes, and a few other things. Then I traveled to New Jersey to visit with my family for a week and learned to make spaghetti sauce from scratch in the slow cooker.
Since I've been home, I've been experimenting with making roasted red potatoes, roasted brussel sprouts, french fries(!), and burgers on my own! It's baby steps, but I'm kind of proud because it's out of my comfort zone. As soon as my dishes arrive (A whole other drama ridden story for another day) I plan to pay for some meal planning and start expanding my repertoire!
I think this move has been good for me!
