During the week, it is more about survival than enjoyment - the struggle to come up with something when you're tired and hungry is insane! Luckily, with some help from Allrecipes and some clever thought on my part, I realized that spending 30 minutes meal-planning the Sunday before the long workweek is the way to go. When we're not cooking, working, or spending time on home updates we love playing with our dog Bella and our cat Kodi, gardening, skiing, and hiking.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook chicken chili because it is just SO good. Also chicken marsala (from Allrecipes) as it is SUCH an easy recipe and always turns out fabulous.
My cooking triumphs
Lately I created the perfect meatball! Mine had always turned out dry and flavorless so I was pretty psyched. :)
My cooking tragedies
I struggle to have success with my breadmaker. Argh!
