What's that smell? Oh, it's me cooking dinner

My first year of marriage I probably cooked my husband three meals. That's what happens when you are both working full time. Poor guy. Now that I'm at home and not working, I get a text every single day from him that says, "What's for dinner?" I usually say: something with chicken, or something with beef. Sometimes I say, is grilled cheese okay? Occasionally, I stick it to him and say, whatever you wanna make. But really, I figure being a Mom who stays at home it's part of my duty and role to make din din for the familia. Though it stresses me out sometimes, I enjoy cooking and trying out new recipes. I feel really accomplished when we eat a fabulous dinner that tastes amazing. I need to work on tasty, healthy recipes though. If I really want to feel like a good cook, I get the recipe from here: The thing I like about this book is that they try out lots of different ways and variations to cook a certain meal. That's how they find the best way. They explain in the book how they come to the best conclusion. Then they give you the recipe and walk you through it step by step with good details. It's more work and time but if you want to learn some really sweet skills in the kitchen you should get the book. It has never let us down. In my honest opinion it is the Bible of all cook books. The other day we were putting some good use to Griselda, our butchered cow. Remember when I introduced you? We had some cube steaks that we needed a recipe for so we found a good one in the book. It was for chicken fried steaks with gravy. Let me tell you the hubby always likes it when I cook, but this night he LOVED it. He is not acting in the pictures at all. Truly. I love it when I make him proud.
