A friend and I prepared these for a going away party! We spent ages chopping tomatoes, onions carrots and aubergines before frying and boiling these in either white wine or tomato sauce. Then we made Bechamel and softened the lasagna sheets before layering it all together (the meat lasagna also got a dose of minced beef) 13 hours ago

this was good. 2 days ago

As at then. My dad had relocated to my area, being that he was a bit ill. He would be staying with me. Then I knew more about eating good food than cooking it.

Also all of my siblings were still in school, so the humble task was left to me to do. My sisters, took me through a daily lesson on cooking101. Two weeks later I could com most of the good, I loved eating out for.

Thought it still took months to perfect the taste. 4 days ago

For the past few years my relationship with food has been …odd.

As a college student I didn’t really have the time or means ($$$) to make good food choices. But I love food and I love all types of food. That’s why it’s really easy for me to get stuck in a fast food, frozen food rut.

So my goal, is to be employed and be able to purchase fresh food that I can make at home. I want to learn how to make all of my favorite foods and learn to make new favorites. I hope to never eat fast food unless I want to, not because there isn’t any better choice. 1 week ago

What a lucky girl I am having a boyfriend who cooked me dinner about two or three times a week while I went to the dining hall for the other times. I’ve learned a lot from him, have many recipes, and have learned a lot also, from my friends. I have no excuse not to cook. I guess it’s just this attitude I’ve been carrying around so long of “I don’t know how to cook/I’m a terrible cook/ I don’t cook.” That thought shall be banished 1 week ago

i actually did a really good job with throwing whatever veggies were in the fridge into a deep skillet, with a little bit of water and tons of spices. it was pretty much an entire cauliflower head, a brocolli head, 3 zuchinni’s of different color, cherry tomatoes (which i popped as i stirred the whole veggie medley around). lots of garlic, salt, pepper (red and black), mesquite flavoring

it came out yum and smelled amazing. plus i have sooo many servings to last me all week and more

i also tried my shot at a strawberry milkshake and didn’t do too bad either :) 1 week ago

Its shameful that at 23 I cant do anything in the kitchen more adventurous then boiling pasta, its about time I learned to cook meals for myself. 2 weeks ago

And I’m planning my brother’s birthday treat again.

Someone had posted a pic of these on Facebook that he found, and he says, “Those are neat!” So I offered to make them for his birthday. It’s more of a Halloween thing, but what the heck.

I think I’ll be practicing the ‘glass’ a couple times. It sounds like it might be tricky to get just right… 2 weeks ago
