I love cooking dinner for and with my husband. He's a great critic and a good cook, so anything we make is one of my favorite things to cook. I also like making baked goods, even though I shouldn't eat so many of them, and healthy meals. My dad is the bread baker in our family. My mom did the everyday type cooking and cookies! She's the best at frosting cookies and cupcakes. The special things we make are usually British in origin because my dad and his family are English. The first couple years my husband and I were married I was a terrible cook. I would make large quantities of food that would've been good if I hadn't added that last ingredient or made other stupid mistakes. Then we moved to a new town and it was like, "BAM! I'm a good cook now." Everything I've made since then has been good to great - nothing gross like I used to make. Keep it simple. Basic. Use Allrecipes.com as much as you want and follow directions! I've deleted all of those memories from my brain.
