learn how to cook

I know how to cook meals that come with blunt directions, but I would like to broaden my horizons and be able to cook things that don’t come in a package. This will also help with my goals to be healthy and to lose weight. Processed foods are the devil and that is all I can cook right now.

I cooked breakfast for my neice and nephew yesterday and they loved it. They even said that anytime I was over, they wanted me to cook breakfast for them :). Now that I’m on my own again I’ve been cooking a lot more lately. I try to eat as many veggies and fruits that I can, so it really helps to have some easy recipes on hand to give my cooking some variety. Steamed broccoli and carrots can get boring after a while.

the reason i would like to cook is so then my mom and sister dont have to do it for me and when i move out i will need to learn cuz then how would i eat ya know.. how i would do this is watch people cook or take cooking classes or ask some one how to cook.

I just help out in the kitchen once in a while. Honestly, I don’t know how to really cook though. Me and my friends have fun in the kitchen sometimes but I still want to learn how to really cook..and be able to make dishes by myself!

Yesterday I made chicken soup, like, not from a can!! Hubby and I are both so sick this week, so it was the perfect thing to make, and I’m surprised just how easy it was!!

”..im getting more and more comfortable in this part of the house as i go on learning about food.. i watch more cooking shows now.. and spending more time at the grocery stores and organic markets to learn about different ingredients.. it really is a relaxing journey and the experience im having now is more likely to inspire me to learn more about it..”

”..ive made some chicken noodle soup.. with veggies and all.. it takes so good.. perfect for a rainy day like today.. i am so loving cooking..”

i know how to cook small things . more probably than some but i want to know how to make a complete meal.

”..i made some italian style beans in tomato sauce last night for dinner.. its really good.. my sister loved it.. i plated it with toasted bread and some fruits for dessert.. im actually having the courage to try to mix some ingredients together these days and they actually do turn out great..”

”..i made seafood pasta today.. it has tuna and broccoli and carrots.. i seasoned it with garlic, butter and basil leaves.. it smells so good and it tastes just the way i wanted it.. i think im getting a hang on this cooking thing..”
