 If you can learn how to cook, you can learn how to do anything. How do you learn? Just like anything else, by doing it over and over, all the time. To cook you will need just a few things, but you will need all of them, all the time. You will never reach the end, you will […]  Chicken Caesar salad may be the most popular salad in the USA. Some people like it with pasta, some with croutons, some with the works, and the low/no carb folks skip both.

Peggy Gilbey McMackin - Oh so true on all points Nancy! Fun Post of good advise.
Michelle Longo - I look forward to a time when I enjoy cooking again. I used to love it but then life happened. Right now I love rotisserie chicken and a premade salad.
natalie - I use my hands, heart and intuition a lot when I cook. I love the tactile feeling of food, the immersive experience, and know just when to add more pepper to the soup. 🙂
nrlowell@comcast.net - Natlaie, it sounds like you are a natural! I bet your food tastes great.
soapie - it’s so hard to feel confident in cooking… i wish i could just swallow up this post and offer my best when i cook. i guess i should do as you say, to cook more. thanks for sharing these words of wisdom!
nrlowell@comcast.net - Soapie, most people who are amazing cooks start out attached to cookbooks, and recipes until they feel comfortable. Repetition will make you better and more confident!
Nate - Unfortunately, even if you hate cooking like I do you still have to do it regularly or go broke from eating out all the time.
nrlowell@comcast.net - Nate, I agree eating out gets very pricey, and I’m sorry you have to do something you hate. What part of it do you hate? Do you make large batched of things to minimize the time you spend in the kitchen?
