[quote=Anonymous]Meal plan. Look for a few simple recipes, make a grocery list, buy the groceries and put on your calender what you will make when. Leave extra time. If the recipe says it takes 20 minutes, assume it will take 45. Do things in steps. Good cooks can multitask. Us crappy cooks cannot. So chop and measure before you start. Perhaps just try a main dish at first, and plan for rolls and cut up fruit or carrots as sides. After you get used to certain recipes, they get easier. You may also want to make notes on the recipe. So if you cooked for the time it said, and it was over cooked, make a note. I also like websites that have a comment section. I will read the comments for tips. See if there are a lot that say turn down the heat. Slow cooker recipes can be really easy and fairly foolproof. Not gourmet food, but decent. For chicken, I have found the secret is buying quality chicken. Not Perdue. Go to a butcher or farmers market. [/quote]
