I'm a 27 year old newlywed. I'm just starting to really try and cook meals for my husband and I. My mom is a great cook and I've been using her recipes lately. It's funny to see how one little thing different can change the outcome of a dish completely. I was raised vegetarian for religious and health reasons and am no longer a vegetarian, however, it is difficult for me to cook meats and even eat most of them due to my upbringing. Casseroles, pastas, veggie dishes.
