i love to cook…

March 2nd 2010 in food

i absolutely love to cook but i actually have very little talent.  i make up for my lack of talent with a very eager nature.   if i see a recipe that looks amazing, i can’t wait to try it.  sometimes they work, sometimes they don’t.  i’m also a terrible food blogger!  usually, i’m half way through preparing the meal when i remember that i would have liked to blog it or i forget to take the picture before it’s all mixed.  many things make me a bad blogger.

take last night for instance….

i made one of my favorite dishes – baked salmon with steamed green beans, baby spinach salad and seasoned potatoes.  i probably make this once a week but i have yet to remember to blog it.  my family LOVES this meal and i think it’s super healthy.

i do wish i had more talent but i guess that’s the way it goes.  i follow the recipes and cookbooks and many food blogs and i turn out some great meals for my family.  sometimes, i can even tweak it a bit to make more to my family’s tastes.
