[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. I'm enjoying all the answers! I like to cook, but I liked it a lot more before the kids came around and I wasn't interrupted all the time and I didn't have to omit all the spice to make things palatable for young tongues. Oh to have all the time in the world again. I cook from recipes sometimes (but notoriously change things so my dh laughs and asks me why I bother) but I can cook by touch/feel/memory too. I like using a crockpot when I can. I like healthy foods and try to avoid cream of something soups and envelopes of dried whatever, but can also appreciate the convenience of Trader Joe's frozen mandarin chicken on busy nights. I learned some from my mom, but mostly from trial and error ever since I graduated college. I like to bake but with healthy ingredients so they aren't universally liked, especially by my in laws. ;) [/quote] You don't necessarily need to skimp on the spices. Some kids enjoy the flavor and even a little heat. [/quote] I use plenty of cumin, mild paprika and curry, dill, things like that--but neither of my kids like heat, they're quite dramatic about it in fact. I hope their taste buds evolve! [/quote]
