How do you cook?

"Teach me how to cook!"
I get this question very often and I've never really had a definite answer to it. To me it was simple I guess. Cooking came naturally to me. I started in high school making spaghetti just browning the meat, boiling the water, and heating up the sauce. From then on I continued to sharpen my cooking skills as often as I could (and wanted).

For me it is easy to cook but still stressful. I think it all boils down to the desire to cook. If you don't want to, well you aren't going to get better. Practice makes perfect right?

Blueberry Cobbler with Streusel Topping

Blueberries have been rampant around my area and I had too many to handle in my fridge and freezer. What a better way to use up some sweet blueberries than a cobbler? I went off searching for the perfect recipe.

A learning experience

In an effort to become a better "home cook" I created this blog to spotlight something I love doing every day.
Cooking!
I got into it around the time I was in fourth grade. I wasn't as serious as I am now, probably because I was too busy playing outside, but I have always had such a passion for food and cooking.
I have not been to school for cooking or baking but I have always dreamed about it, maybe later on in life?
Today, I enjoy teaching myself cooking from recipes out of cookbooks, online, on my always on Food Network on the television and handed to me from friends and family.
My goals are to become a better cook and discover all types of new foods and recipes as well as baking a little!
This blog and my time will be a learning experience in itself so come on in and join me on my journey!
