There comes a point in everyone's life when they have to learn how to cook real food. It no longer becomes healthy or acceptable to live off of frozen dinners, Spaghettios and boxed/canned food.
That point in my life has arrived. I am not a bad cook, but definitely an inexperienced one. I have helped my mother bake for years and that has taught me how to follow a recipe, but when it comes to making dinner, let's just say it's not my forte. Until recently my menu consisted of french toast, scrambled eggs, shake and bake, items on the grill, and throwing together salads...unless I had a detailed recipe to follow.
My cooking journey began after college as my father, rather suddenly passed away and my mother became disabled - meaning I had to take over most of the responsibilities including cooking. My mother had nagged me for years, practically begging me to help her prepare meals everyday so I would learn how to cook, preaching that I could not live off Macaroni and Cheese and eating out. She was right, as mother's usually are. I learned quickly that pre-made food is not only unhealthy, but expensive and learning to cook was a must.
For the past year or so now, I've been sharpening my culinary skills by watching the Food Network, taking direction from my mom and trying out new recipes. I dedicate this blog to my mom, and everyone who wants to improve their cooking skills. Here I'll share my favorite recipes, kitchen gadgets, and anything related to cooking.
