I have found myself searching new *not so easy, recipes, trying them out, failing, then searching for cooking classes! I am determined to become a better cook and i don't know why. I used to be fine with popping something in the microwave, 2 minutes later... Ding, Dinner! I was completely fine with that, partly because frozen food tasted better than anything I could come up with. and the preparation... Oh the prep time. Ew! This is what my prep time consist of;
Read over ingredient list. What is Cumin? How important is it in the recipe?
Cross off some unnecessary items. Cumin- out. Rice vinger oil- out.
Go spend a pretty penny on the *necessary items
Have many anxiety attacks about starting the food
Lay out the dishes needed
Realize I forgot to get milk... guess that's off the list
Then my journey starts... about 50 mins later, the food goes into the trash.
Yes, I realize that I may have left off some items that the recipe called for, but isn't that what great chefs do... Improvise! I try to throw more stuff in to spice it up, but who knew that 1/3 tsp isn't the same as 1/3 c. Make the font BIGGER please!
Here are a few recipes that I have found to be successful. I try them out on Jonas first of course!
1. Meatloaf Muffins
2. Veggie quesadillas
3. Broccoli cakes
4. squash and carrot muffins
5. roasted carrots and cauliflower
