I thought I made some very tasty dinners this week and I have a few more good ones planned so I thought I would share. Ever since getting married and having much more time, no architecture school, I have been cooking more. Also, I discovered cookbooks! I had cookbooks before, but I mainly rifled through the pictures when hungry; rarely did I use their valuable information as a tool. Following recipes, no matter how loosely I chose to follow them, is a huge help and it is fun. The cookbooks I turn to the most are the Joy of Cooking and FOOD Everyday, a Martha Stewart cookbook I received as a bridal shower gift. I also ask the good cooks in my family. Sorry I don't have any pictures, I will start taking photos of pretty or especially delicious dishes.
