So the reason why I struggle with a blog so much is I don't know what to write. I don't have many interesting things to say, and a diary of my daily activities seems very boring to me.
But I was thinking as I was cooking dinner last night about all the little tips and tricks that I've adopted over the past 5 months since I've been married. When you are single, you can get away with eating a bag of popcorn for dinner (I did it once and swore I'd never do it again). Now that I'm cooking for someone else, I've encountered the problem of cooking healthy and tasty meals on a budget. I'd like to share what I've discovered and I'd like to hear from you about your tips and shortcuts.
I love to cook, or at least I thought I did before I got married. When I cooked as a single person, I picked random things I'd like to try, and cooking was a major production, using lots of ingredients and taking lots of time, but I always just wanted to see what I could do. Could I actually be able to make baklava (the answer is yes)? Can I make my own whipped cream (failed!)? Can I cook a whole ham (I will find that out soon)?
But now that I'm married, dinner has become more of a chore. I have to cook almost every night, and I can't spend 3 hours a night cooking. So I've had to learn to make dinners that don't take as long to prepare and cook. I'm not as willing to sacrifice the taste aspect as my husband is (he'd be happy with spaghetti, but I want the homemade sauce). So where's the balance?
I've taken lots of suggestions from family and friends and watched a lot of Food Network. And this blog will tell you what I've learned.
