I love to cook. I love trying new recipes as well as take old recipes and mix them up and create new dishes from them. However, since having Shelby, and the energy has been sucked out of me, it just became so much easier to go out to eat. And when we moved here, and realized we had the most idiotic kitchen ever, I really lost my desire and passion to cook. However, we made a goal to cook every night last week, giving ourselves two out-to-eat allowances, and we did it! So proud of myself. I know it sounds pretty ordinary to most people, but really, we had gotten used to eating out 7 times a week- every weeknight and twice on Saturdays!
Tonight I made Rachel Ray's Two Sauce Weeknight Lasagna Bowls. Of course I didn't follow the recipe exactly as I never do, but it turned out pretty good. I think the best part about sticking with our goal, besides saving money, is that I have started to love cooking again.

Yummo!
That looks fantastic. I love to cook too...when i'm not pregnant. I have no desire to cook anything or eat anything i've cooked when i'm pregnant.
I can't follow a recipe to save my life. I guess I want it to be MINE. You know, I want to take the credit when its delicious. I don't want Rachael to get all the glory. I have to add my special touch :)
