I can cook, and I love it!

For years, I’ve said “I don’t know how to cook,” or “I don’t cook.”

I mean, when my husband I were first married, I’d try my hand at the packaged meals like Hamburger Helper… and I didn’t really “mess them up”, but I didn’t enjoy cooking, and I didn’t enjoy the food enough to want to do it again.

So I developed a habit of eating out.  Over the years, I’ve tried a few times to cook - fry some catfish here (it did NOT go well), bake some chicken there (umm… again, not so good)…. and you get the picture.  I just “learned” that I can’t cook.

Until now.  I bought a cookbook full of low fat, balanced meals that are EASY to prepare.  Wow!  I never thought I’d find that combination!

I tried my hand first at the chicken enchiladas… and surprise surprise!  They were DELICIOUS, and I enjoyed the preparation and the cooking.

Tonight I made chicken parmesan.  It was yummy!  And I actually enjoyed preparing it, again.  Somehow, knowing that all of that effort (not like it was alot… LOL) is going into a healthy, delicious meal that I can say I cooked MYSELF… is awesome!

Here’s a pic:

I’m still in shock that I can make a delicious entree - and a healthy one at that!
