I was married in July 2007, beautiful. He is great! I have been cooking since I was younger, but now I have to cook every night and am learning more challenging recipes. I am a military wife, which is all in itself a learning experience. I enjoy movies and medical tv shows(the real life ones). I pretty much just love life and all that it throws my way. I like simple. Stirfry, chili, tacos(anything mexican), casseroles, Italian, fish, steaks, burgers, pretty much whatever we are in the mood to eat. I always try to incorporate vegetables. I plan two weeks ahead and go shopping, if we need fresh veggies or whatnot we make a quick stop. I get ideas off of here and from Rachael Ray and other cooks from the Food Network. My grandma use to always make us cabbage rolls. It was one of the first meals I made my husband. He had never eaten them before. He absolutely loved them and completely pigged out on them. I told my grandma about it and she felt really special that I remembered eating those at her house all the time and that I wanted to bring that into my home. Pretty much every time I cook it is a triumph because I always do something a little different. Usually I am successful because I was given good sense and great taste. When I first got married and was incredible sick. I thought I still had to make dinner and so did my husband. So I just threw a bunch of stuff together in a pot and called it dinner. It looked really bad and tasted as bad as it looked. I think my husband learned then that I should not cook when I am sick and that he should not expect me to!
