Many people have heard about how good my mother can cook. RD brags on her all the time. I have gotten used to the fact that she cooks and we eat. As a child, I was outside all the time. I never came in unless it was too cold or it was time to eat. Even then, they MADE me come inside. I would go play outside until I could feel the seriousness in my mother's voice as she yelled from the back steps to the woods where I was always playing. I never have had a desire to be inside or much less in the kitchen helping my mother cook. My brother would help more than I would. I hated it.
This is now showing in my old age. RD loves to eat. I hate to cook. What's a girl to do?
I still hate hanging out in the kitchen, unless there is much needed to hear gossip being tossed about in the air. {None of you for a second better act like y'all don't do the same thing :)} I will arrive to the kitchen when it's time to eat. However, I have made it an effort to work on this. I mean after all, me and RD can't forever eat every meal with Susie and Creeddaddy. They will get tired of us.
So I sat down and thought about what I could cook...
Settled upon :
- Ham and Cheese Chicken
- Bacon Mashed Potatoes {served in sourdough bread bowl}
- Baked Beans
I planned. I purchased. I prepared.
And the best part... RD loved it. And it was actually good!!! {He even took it for lunch!!}
I was SO happy :)
The very best part of it all though : he bragged about my cooking to Shawn at church! I was tickled pink. I almost cried and which Shawn found hilarious.
And the kicker: I actually enjoyed cooking.
I am getting old.
Officially.

This sounds and LOOKS delicious. If it helps to know...I couldn't cook when we married but I learned quickly.
Girl, you can cook! That looks awesome!
Do you need someone to call AARP for you? Check with nursing homes to see if they have any beds available...? :)
Codie,
Shawn told me all about this - before he said something to you. I am proud of you. Ryan did love it. I could cook things like ravioli and ramen when I got married... you learn quick. I've got lots of good home cooking, easy recipes I'd be happy to share. :) YAY for you and your new talent! Love you! :)
