Cooking…I wouldn’t say it’s ‘my thing’.

​

My idea of cooking is a grilled cheese sandwich.

​

My husband cooks way better than I do. I can ruin a nice piece of beef in a heartbeat (other than hamburger). In fact, when he cooks dinner, we have a deal…I clean up. I would rather clean up the mess than make it.

​

I cringe at times when I hear that age-old question: ”What’s for dinner?” Seriously? The question, “Didn’t you eat breakfast or lunch today?” will go through my mind.  A few of my favorite answers have not gone over real well:

​

     Cereal – that’s for dinner. Have a bowl of good ol’ Charms of Luck!

​

     Popcorn? (I wasn’t as lucky as my mom to have gotten away with this one.)

​

     Fasting…we are fasting dinner tonight and possibly several nights a week from here forward.

​

When we were first married, I could only make about 3 dishes, one of which was Shake-n-bake chicken. I wore my husband out on that meal. I finally had to stop making it after about 18 years of marriage for fear of my husband shaking and baking me!

​

Obviously if I do cook dinner, I like it to be easy. And if it turns out and tastes good, well, that’s a plus.

​

Below are a few of my favorite recipes that have worked well in our home and still do….as long as I don’t make them every week.

​

Happy Cooking!!
