When I first got married I was a 20 year old young woman who had never lived on my own before. For my poor husband this meant frozen pizzas for dinner 3 times a week for 2 years ;) But then we had children who needed to eat things of nutritional value, so it was time to learn how to cook.
I've learned a lot from the women in my life, including that in order to get good I just need to practice. So while I'm no chef just yet I have learned some basics and found some favorites.
