When it comes to cooking I am defintley not confident. My husband says he loves it but that's because I cheat and use recipes from this site, and besides he will eat anything. My two year old hates everything except grill cheese and peanut butter and jelly. So you see I don't have much to go by. One of my critics loves everything and the other hates everything :) I personally love anything Italian, but unfortunatley that is the only food my husband doesn't care for. This is really dumb on my part. I tried to make chilli for the first time and didn't realize that I was supposed to use canned beans instead of the uncooked ones. I thought they would cook in the pot with all the other ingredients. Well, I'll admit I didn't even give it that much thought. Needless to say, I learned my lesson.
