Alright I have a confession to make....
I am the worst cook in the ENTIRE WORLD!!!!
There I said it and it's out there for everyone to know! Here are my reasons why.....
1.) All I know how to do is make tacos, spaghetti, quesadillas, and tator tot casserole.
2.) I have made more burned meals than I have successful ones.
3.) My husband won't even let me know whether the meal is edible. He just slowly eats it.
4.) I forget steps in recipes or mix them up.
5.) I am one awesome sandwich maker that's for sure!!! Just ask SJ she will tell you that her Momma can make one mean sandwich. D3's favorite food is Grilled Cheese...that should say it all there!
6.) I would rather buy a pizza than make one and it is soooo simple to make one!
7.) I get distracted by someone or something and let things cook for too long....hence the burnt meals.
8.) I have the knife skills of a troll....do trolls have knife skills?
9.) I have caught the cutting board on fire. Don't ask how or why I did it....it just happened. That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
10.) My husband is a much better cook so I think I make myself worse so he would do it more....hasn't happened yet though.
Gosh I am such a hot mess!
I am learning to be better at cooking. I make more crock pot meals than I used to but that is okay. Pinterest is helping me come up with new ideas. I found a ravioli lasagna, taco cupcakes, baked spaghetti (in a crock pot), a beautiful honey lime fruit salad, and a few others. Look out for those recipes in a blog post it will be coming to a computer near you...
Before you leave let me know about whether you are just of a hot mess in the kitchen as I am or if you are a 5 star chef....they have those right? See I don't even know about these kind of things.

Ha! I have my moments, but I do tend to stick to fairly simple meals :) Sara | mumturnedmom #twinklytuesday

Haha!!! My boy is the cook in our household too!! We adopted our roles in the home shortly after getting together — he is food and beverage and I'm washing and cleaning (although we have a cleaner now so I've sort of managed to get out of one of mine!!). That said, we've been together for nearly 20 years so he obviously thinks he got a good deal!! :) Thanks so much for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday — hope to see you again next week! x

My husband is a better cook than me, he can make a meal out of nothing and it taste gorgeous. #monstersink
ReplyDeleteMy husband is the same way!!! So frustrating some times! Thanks for commenting!

I wouldn't consider myself a five-star chef by any means but I am a good cook (I better be after spending four years in high school, majoring in Culinary Arts). I do use the crock pot a lot though because I have a really small kitchen and I hate it and my youngest is really picky so cooking has become a undesirable chore for me. I do love to bake though and I will bake more around the holidays. thanks for sharing with #momsterlink
ReplyDeleteOh I can bake! I make the best sugar cookies and holiday treats for sure but a lasagna shhhhp yeah right! Thanks for commenting!

I am one of those annoying cows who can cook. Sorry - but my advice is definitely stick to crockpot/slow cooker meals. They are really hard to burn - just add more moisture and you are good to go! Keep up the good work and if all fails grab a pizza! Mel xx #momsterslink
ReplyDeleteGosh I knew there would be at least one of you out there....just kidding! I know I need more exposure to it and it may come with practice. I for sure will stick with crock pot meals! Thanks for the tip!

I'm not a great recipe follower, I tend to throw things together. Most of the time they turn out ok though :) Great that your husband can cook - let him do it! lol #momsterlink
ReplyDeleteI am glad I'm not the only one who isn't a great recipe follower. Hate to admit it but I almost missed the whole step of putting the seasoning in noodles last night....it would have been bad! Thanks for stopping by!!

Haha I have days when I feel exactly the same. Some days I amaze myself by whipping up great tasting meals and other days I stick to what I know, which isn't a lot. Will have too keep an eye out for your recipes, I love tacos and am very curious about the taco cupcakes! #momsterslink
ReplyDeleteI will be posting that recipe soon! It is so easy...which is why I can make it...and taste amazing! My kids love it cause them cause they are small enough they can pick them up. Thanks for stopping by!

Love this, really gave me a laugh. I am totally intrigued to know more about the chopping board fire! I once set the packaging of some minced beef alight. I have issues touching raw meat, so I sort of flipped it into the pan to avoid touching it, completely forgetting about that sheet of paper type stuff on the bottom. Anyway as I was freaking out trying to get that off, the packet I still had hold of managed to get in the gas and catch fire. I'd like to say I was drunk but I wasn't lol. #momsterslink
ReplyDeleteDebbie
Oh my goodness Debbie! I would totally tell people it just jumped in there and when you turned around everything was out of control! Lol! I have a portable cutting board and a very small kitchen. I placed the cutting board a little to close to our gas stove top....and the rest is history! There is only a tiny black spot on it. Thanks for commenting!

Haha I hate cooking and often forget things in recipes too! Or I don't have all the ingredients in the recipe so I just make it anyways and wonder why it doesn't taste very good. Or I never measure what I am doing and on the odd chance it turns out amazeballs, I can never replicate because I don't remember what I did/what the measurements were!! Good luck with the cooking :) #momsterslink
ReplyDeleteThanks! I need all the luck I can get!

I have to admit that I used to be a very basic cook. Probably because I never really had anyone to cook for. Then I got myself a husband and some kids and decided that my basics wasn't going to cut it so I started trying recipes...then I started watching cooking shows...and then I got addicted to the show "Chopped" and it has taught me a lot about how to throw ingredients together without a recipe and now...I LOVE to cook. I accomplished tasty, made from scratch gravy the other day and you would have thought I won the lottery I was so happy. Thanks for sharing your "hot mess" with #momsterslink. Love this idea ;)
ReplyDeleteI'll have to keep trying! I have always wanted to be an amazing cook but I just get the best of myself sometimes. Thanks for hosting #momsterslink!

Hi, I'm just reading the busy doing life linky. I can cook. But during my tentative beginnings, cooking was definitely my disaster area. It gets better with practice. I'm hooked on watching Pioneer Woman on food network. She is my kind of Cook.x
ReplyDeleteI LOVE pioneer woman!!! I read her blog as well! I am planning on trying new things to hopefully get better but only time will tell. Thanks for stopping by!

This is so funny (and freeing). Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for stopping by and reading it! Be sure to watch out for more confessions!

I am so glad I'm not the only bad cook ;) my other half is the cook in our house too. Although since buying a slow cooker I have managed to cobble together a few meals! I really want to learn how to cook though.

We need to start a club! The BCA bad cooks anonymous! Lol thanks for stopping by!

Girl I feel ya! I hate cooking which I think is a big factor in to why I'm so bad at it! Plus I have music going and I'm dancing while cooking. I set my stove on fire all the time!
ReplyDeleteYeah music gets me every time! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteKristen
I can cook. Start small. You can do it too!
ReplyDeleteI will be sure to do that! Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteKristen
hahaha.. OMG. As Holy Craft said, start small. Even people who can "cook" mess up.. Lol
ReplyDeleteLol I for sure am starting small! Thanks for stopping by!

Ha ha I think I may challenge you, as I am rubbish! I think trolls would be crap with knives and they have really chubby hands! Thanks for linking up to #TheList x
ReplyDeleteI agree they probably are absolutely crap with knives which is why I have the skills of a troll! Thank your for hosting it!
DeleteKristen
I have taken to telling myself I am a great cook in the hope that my brain might realise and start actually BE a great cook... I am sadly lacking in culinary skills although what I lack in ability I make up for in enthusiasm! Thankyou so much for lining up with #busydoinglife hope you can join me again tomorrow?!
ReplyDeleteThank you for hosting it!!! I am planning on linking up!

Oh I am rubbish in the kitchen too. I can put some meals together and I cook a mean roast and lasagne but I get so stressed throughout! It's stressful isn't it? To make sure everything tastes nice, is cooked through and is eaten by everyone! I cooked Christmas dinner last year for 6 adults and three children. Never ever again haha! Thanks so much for linking up with #TwinklyTuesday
ReplyDeleteOh gosh! You are one brave woman! I could not and will not do that! Thanks for hosting it and stopping by!
