I just didn't know that she cooked as well. I am surprised that no one mentioned the "Joy of Cooking". Everything from appetizers to venison (Yuk). Lots of drawings and best of all, sections on all the basic ingredients. For instance, I didn't know about not over stirring corn starch recipes until I read it here. Can't wait to hear about the new apartment. <br />LASAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-325471728565796895.post-50209690957577431152011-04-07T22:13:01.364-05:002011-04-07T22:13:01.364-05:00So fun to spend some time with your adorable daugh...So fun to spend some time with your adorable daughter.

It's wonderful to see children that love their parents so much. As for a go to cookbook I guess mine would have to be our church cookbook. Growing up we didn't use a cookbook much. Mom cooked from her head and that's how she taught me. No fancy cooking you can be sure. It's so different now.

Dust storms for the past two days. :/ So pajama days it is and lots of crafting and cooking has been going on. I love making soups all year round and have made a couple this week. So easy to just heat up as a main dish, or on the side with a sandwich or salad. Most of my recipes now are gleaned from friends or blogs or online sources; although I do have tons and tons of cookbooks too. So nice that you and your hubby are helping your daughter learn some cooking skills. I love cooking, but during regular school/work days when everything is rushed, it can seem like such a chore. The slow pace of this week allows me to get so much done. Enjoy your break!
