Cookin' Momma

As most of you know, I do not claim to be any kind of cook.  Can I follow a recipe or the back of a box?  Absolutely! But never do I head to the kitchen with the excitement to make something spectacular, mostly because I have NO culinary creativity or care really.  My husband, on the other hand, can look at what I would call a bare pantry and make a fabulous meal.  Soooooo, when I make something from scratch (not out of a box or from my freezer that mom sent me ;-) I am SUPER proud and must brag, brag, brag  =)....

I'm not sure what has gotten into me lately, but Friday I was off work and went to the grocery store armed with a "menu" for the week.  One that I plan on executing to the fullest... hopefully!  So far, so good.  Friday I made potato salad and Turkey burgers and both were edible!!  Saturday night Jim decided to cook some steaks, but my ranch potatoes were yummy :)  However, I am way more excited about my Sunday night dinner!!!

I made my first EVER attempt at a homemade lasagna and I must admit it was pretty dang tasty!!  I had no clue what I was doing, but apparently I did something right.  Tomorrow night it's BBQ Chicken pizza... I will keep you posted...
