Since I got married a little over a year ago I have tried to learn to cook more things for my family (my husband and teenage daughter). They are a joy to cook for. Anything with shrimp. Such a forgiving animal. I don't have any yet, but I'm looking forward to making some! I think the sausage and applesauce appetizer I made is my favorite at the moment. My cooking skills were legendarily bad because I wanted people to think that they were bad. That way you don't get asked to bring homemade things to parties. Just chips. It's a great way to avoid stress before a party. So the first time I decided to come out of the closet with my skills was at just such a party. My husband was nervous ("You're going to cook sausage with applesauce? And brown sugar? Eeeewww")I put it on the table and made my husband try it while I watched. His whole face changed. He couldn't believe his wife, Queen of the Chips, had made that dish. He went all over the place telling people to try the sausage. It made me very proud. Chicken Piccatta. I still can't find a recipe I like for it.
