Cooking Fun!

My friend Erin, asked that we share some of our cooking secrets (or not so secrets...). Play along on your own blog! The more the merrier!


1.) What is your favorite, go-to, never fail, use it all the time cookbook (or magazine)?

I really don't use one book or magazine all the time. I browse the internet and my books often for new ideas.

2.) Why?

I like to cook really easy, fast recipes. With Bobby, I don't have a lot of time to cook anymore. If I want something homemade, it needs to be quick and easy!



3.) Where do you keep your cookbooks/recipes?

I keep most of my books above my fridge, and all my recipes I use over and over again I keep in a recipe box on the counter.



4.) Do you menu plan? If so, what gets made every week?

I actually started to menu plan right before Erin posted about it. I am 2 weeks in, and so far I really like it! It has made me think more about adding new recipes to our list of favorites.
I don't know about every week, but we have a few recipes we like to eat often. That is one thing we definitely lack: variety. Some of our favorites are: Chili (it doesn't have to be winter for us!), fish and sweet potato fries, meatloaf...we are pretty simple. I hope to try 1 new recipe per week.
