I used to avoid cooking like the plague. I still am trying to remember to this day what on earth I ate for the first four years of college–because whatever it was, chances are good that I wasn’t cooking it.
But, since marrying a man with a colossal appetite, I have come to not only appreciate the art of cooking, but to absolutely love it.
Below you’ll find links to some recipes I’ve particularly enjoyed.
Happy cooking!
