Julia Child is reported to have said, "I was 32 when I started cooking; up until then, I just ate." For me, I was 30. While I have always loved food, cooking was something I feared, disliked, and avoided until motherhood compelled me to overcome my feelings and, in spite of myself, I found I began to enjoy trying new recipes, creating tasty meals, and sharing them with others. These are the adventures of my learning to love something that overwhelmed and intimidated me for far too long. I hope you will enjoy (and perhaps benefit from) the tales of a reluctant cook!

What's for dinner this week (originally posted January 31, 2014)


Trying out a few new meals this week. In addition to Cathy’s Sweet Potato Chili (see post immediately previous to this one), I’ll also be making:

Cilantro Lime Chicken with Cilantro Lime Rice (Cafe Rio knockoff) and Creamy Tomatillo Dressing (also a Cafe Rio knockoff)
Bacon and Pear Mac and Cheese
and an old favorite of mine:
Tilapia with Sauteed Almonds, Mushrooms, and a Creamy Mustard Sauce

Keep an eye out for recipes over the next several days!
