[quote=Anonymous]I'm a beginning cook and I'm to the point where I'd like to expand my cooking skills.....I'm getting to the point where I don't like eating out as much (especially fast food) and with some restaurants I feel like I can do better myself at home. I can cook most basic stuff. I guess you can say most of my cooking is just seasoning and baking meat in the oven. But my thing is I rarely make sides. I come from a family of good cooks and I'd like to be able to cook myself also. Does anyone have any tips for me. Maybe recipes. Call me crazy but I like dark meats and eat a lot of chicken, pot roast etc.

When I go grocery shopping I usually get the following:

Chicken wings
Pot roast
Salmon (if it's on sale)
Potatoes ( just starting buying my own produce recently)
Onions
Minced garlic
Bacon 
Sausage
Lactose Free milk 
Eggs 
Butter

Can anyone help me with any suggestions on how I an improve

I'm trying to get into shopping at places like whole foods and Trader Joes and etc
