I feel pretty good about saying I can cook. I’ve found I can intuit through building a meal for myself and my husband with what we have in the pantry, even if I’m not working directly from a recipe. I can kind of skim through a variety of recipes to discover combinations to create the flavors I want without being married to a particular recipe. I have enough “staple meals” that I can make consistently as well that I feel good about. I’ve also made grandma’s Christmas cookies two years in a row now without incident, so I’d call it a success.
