Bon appetit!
I come from a family of cooks. My parents are both excellent cooks. My sister is constantly cooking. Every time I see her she’s pushing new creations onto me – crab cakes, chorizo chili, homemade pizza, and more – not that I’m complaining! She also works at a gluten free bakery (shout out to Dee’s One Smart Cookie) and is always dropping by with extra breads, cookies, and cupcakes – to die for. I also live with my boyfriend who cooks, and cooks well, as he is regularly judged by the hungry firemen he works with. So, as you can probably tell, I have had little need or motivation to learn how to cook. I mean, I can do the basics and I have a few stand by recipes that I am comfortable whipping up, but that’s about it.
Recently I decided that I should try to teach myself how to cook one new thing a week. So far I have only succeeded in meeting this goal twice. One weekend I made a roasted vegetable meatloaf (Dad’s recipe) and twice baked potatoes with blue cheese and bacon (they were awesome!). Then I made a batch of baked potato soup, which also came out pretty good. Now I am on the lookout for more recipes to try…. like maybe something outside the potato family. Lucky for me the Saxton B. has a HUGE collection of cookbooks and cooking magazines. Here are a few I have looked through recently: We also have subscriptions to great foodie magazines like: Bon appetit! |
