Mom’s cooking advice




Don’t worry too much about cooking. Try new things and have fun with it. The best rule for cooking is to cook. The more you try things and get experience the more you’ll feel comfortable with what you are doing. Sure you’ll make a lot of mistakes. Don’t forget the first week I was married. I dumped every meal down the drain.

One of my best resources for recipes is the internet. You can Google almost anything and get the recipe you’re looking for.



Enjoy cooking
