[quote=Anonymous]I also want to know more specifics about your cooking. Describe some of your dinners.

The other night, I made a very simple dinner, but it just WORKED. I made chicken things in a way I've made them 100 times -- coated in Dijon mustard and rolled in seasoned breadcrumbs, then baked. Couscous made with chicken broth. Roasted carrots that came out just right. Mushrooms sauteed with thyme. I thought it was good, but the proof was that my teens ate it ALL. I had thought it would be two dinners, or dinner and a lunch. Nope. All gone. I felt really good about that one.

I think the difference between being a good cook and a bad cook is little touches + sometimes a little luck. When I've made similar meals before, maybe I didn't have broth, so I cooked the couscous in water, which works, but it's very plain. This time, I lightly steamed the carrots before roasting them, and we all seemed to like them better that way. I might have just gotten a great pack of chicken at the grocery store. Little things add up. [/quote]
