Cooking is one of those things in life that I absolutely love doing. And the older I get, the better cook I become. We all have things that we do that relax us, and cooking is one of those things for me. I love to get into the kitchen and create. It's my art. I can't draw or paint worth a damn, but I can cook. That's one of the reasons my Facebook page gets filled with pictures of what I cook. I love to share my passion with people and I feel very proud of the things I make.
I love cooking for others. It's been awhile since I've had people over for a meal, but I always enjoy it. Of course, I love doing things like setting the table and making sure everything looks great, but it's the cooking for that is at the heart of entertaining. The planning of the meals, the buying of the groceries. I love it all. I need more of that in my life!
The more experienced cook that I become, I am finding myself being a little more creative with things. And this comes in the form of using what I already have in the fridge or freezer or cabinets. Trying to keep my cooking cost effective by thinking ahead. Yesterday, I created what I call a Bob's cobb salad. I called it that because it was not the traditional cobb salad, yet one I made using what I had. Also, I don't like blue cheese, so it wasn't going to be traditional right off the bat LOL But, I enjoyed finding ways to creatively use the ingredients that I have on hand. It saves me money and it feeds my creative soul.
Cooking is one of my passions. I wish I had started cooking at an earlier age and that I could have soaked up more of what Mom and Grandmother taught me in the kitchen, but I sure did get a good bit of knowledge from them. And when I'm cooking, they are with me. And that is important.
That is all.
