What kind of recipes do you gravitate towards for example desserts, casserole, drinks?
I love to peruse cookbooks, food, magazines, and Instagram for recipes. I always have ideas, but they don’t match my skill set. I really like fancy, fresh, trendy recipes, but I only have the skill set really for one pot dinners or recipes that focus on five ingredients or less. Plus, my husband is a meat and potatoes kind of guy so it’s really hard to cook anything that he would kind of consider “exotic.” For example quinoa is too far out of his comfort zone; “Where’s the rice?” My mom was the queen of casseroles and I always said that I would never make them, but as 30+ year old woman who works long hours and is a new mom I definitely see the appeal. I like all kinds of recipes in terms of ingredients. I’m not super picky. I like to make drinks, however, when I try to mix an alcoholic one it never turns out well because they always end up tasting super strong. So basically, they look pretty, but they taste terrible. I also love a really good meal salad recipe, especially in the summer when I can use the vegetables that I grew myself. Sheet pans suppers also are great for our lifestyle but I feel like they don’t always have the opportunity to build flavor or taste and are just kinda meh!
