Cooking up a storm
Well, the last few days I have been cooking up a storm! I guess that is what happens when you only work 20 hours a week and are on summer vacation!
On Sunday, I had a successful brunch with Tyler's parents and my parents. I cooked banana crumb muffins (incredible!!), and also made breakfast tacos, and had some fresh fruit and some mimosas!
Then yesterday I decided to try my hand at cooking, I went to the HEB hybrid (like a cross between HEB central market and COSTCO). I was pushing my shopping cart around the store at about 2:30 pm... there were lots of other women in there. I felt like a real wife =P okay I a stereotypical wife. Okay just a good person that was going to cook dinner for herself and her husband instead of going out to eat!!
So last night I did chicken with fetticuini and some light alfredo, along with some sauteed asparagus and some corn. It turned out well.
Tonight I cooked for Tyler and his friend Will. We had tilapia from Costco (frozen individually packaged) and it turned out AMAZING! I also cooked some more asparagus, green beans, mashed potatoes with brown gravy, some more corn, and had some fruit leftover. I did good. And I timed it all well, everything was ready at the same time! but WOW that fish (I baked it) ended up great! I am excited, now I have something additional I can cook.
But alas, once school starts up again, I fear this cooking spree will end.... but at least I don't feel like a total failure in the kitchen like I used to.
but.... horray!
