I guess after spending the past 18 years eating with the Linker's, I have finally learned to enjoy the preparation part of cooking. It is no secret that the Linker's love to cook. They are some of the best cooks I know. They can make anything taste good. The only problem is, they don't always make the most healthy meals. Their favorite ingredient is butter! I told Mr. Thad, (FIL) I was going to sue him for being the cause of my weight gain!
I used to be really nervous preparing a recipe. I thought it had to be perfect. I would follow the recipe exactly, and would make sure there were no smudge marks on the dish. Crazy, I know! Well, I have since relaxed. I have learned to eye the measurements, and add or take away ingredients we like.
Lately, I have been in the mood to try new recipes. I found 7 new ones that I wanted to try. Last night, we had Taco Skillet Supper. It was easy to prepare, and tasted great. The kids even liked it, but it was a little to spicy for Remington's taste. Here is a picture of the yummy dish. (Please ignore my messy stove top. I should have used a larger skillet.)
The meal is really good with nacho chips. I will definitely make it again. Tonight's dinner is Monte Cristo Stuffed French Toast with Strawberry Syrup. I'll let you know how it turns out!
mmm.. favorite ingredient is butter... mine too!
ReplyDeleteThe french toast sounds yummy! I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteGlad you have relaxed and learned to love cooking! The Taco Skillet sounds yummy, but I am really interested to hear how the Monte Cristo French Toast turns out! I love Monte Cristo sandwiches!
ReplyDeleteThe Taco Skillet looks good! I will probably need the recipe - you should post it! Looking forward to hearing about the next recipe.
