In Which I COOK

Would you look at that? What is it you ask? HOMEMADE CHICKEN POT PIE!! That I MADE! I just really feel like I have to clearify that because I always get teased for not cooking, David is always making lavish things when we go to friends house because he knows people will think I made it and doesn't want to make me look bad. He's the sweetest. But our real friends know Dave made it.

And Dave cooks most every single night, which I feel extremely guilty about. Especially now that I have the time to do so. I mean why should he get to have all the fun it's enough he works hard all day long to support this family. (name that movie) Plus I want to be a good cook for my family, I want meal time to be a big part of our daily family life and if the foods bad well....

So I'm trying to teach myself with Davids help of course because he has learned a lot over the past 4 1/2 years of marriage. Hopefully I will get good before my kids really remember. So I started with soup on Sunday, easy enough and it turned out actually really good. I was amazed. Then I thought about making Chicken Pot Pies for Monday, Heavens do not ask me what I was thinking. I mean really Chicken Pot Pie? Could I have picked something more complicated?

The Gods were watching over me though because it turned out so good, I could have cried. There were a couple times I thought for sure I messed up but it worked out somehow. Davids cooked the past two nights, but with two successful meals under my belt my confidence has sky rocketed and I'm going to keep trying.

I'm also thinking of making a cook book. Not like my own recipes cook book, but just compiling recipes I find that I like into a cute notebook, because everything is better when it's cuter.
