Mission: Learn to Cook


So, I pretty much understand how to cook (thank you Food Network, Alton Brown, Food Jammers, etc), but I rarely put pan to heat and do it.  With my time off this summer, I've had a chance to spread my culinary wings and cook.  Gluten-free, of course.

My goal is to make healthy dishes for my husband and I.  I am attempting the whole "sneak veggies into your food" deal.  So far, I've had a couple of successes and one or two failures.  But it is so fun!

My method is this: buy stuff that looks good/interesting at the grocery store, take it home and brainstorm meal ideas, research recipes online, and then attempt the recipes (which usually end up taking some twists and turns along the way).

The first dinner was fresh new potatoes, corn on the cob, burgers (w/out buns), salad, and fresh fruit.  Not much cooking, but it was awesome.  So far, I am excited about what I've learned and grateful that I have the time to do it.
