I'm having to experience cooking for my boyfriend and I. He never really cooks unless it's his mother's meals which he just heats up. Other then that fast food does not count! We're living together and now it's up to me to provide the meals. I will admit that when it comes down to cooking, i'm not sure what to add and if i'm preparing the meals correctly. But, I know that I am learning and improving as I go along. Thanks to this website, I get compliments on my cookies. So hopefully with more help I'll be able to be on the same level as my future mother-in-law. I love to bake just about anything; cookies, pineapple upside down cake. I like to make main course dishes and BBQ's. No real traditions except everything cooked is by memory.. no recipes are written down. Traditional cookies and my pineapple upside down cake. Meatloaf is almost there. In the process of cooking my first meatloaf, my boyfriend had to call his mother to make sure I was doing it correctly and that I should do exactly how she prepares it.
