I'm pretty adventurous with ingredients and recipes though, so we're all the time trying and tweaking new recipes... so there are some fails here and there :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious/page/2#post-1243568 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 09:22:10 +0000 Cherrybee 1243568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to think I was an awesome cook until I met DH. He's a great cook and his mother is truly exceptional so my attempts are pretty naff by comparison. I gave up for a while and let DH do all the cooking (and ordered take away when he didn't) but I'm getting back in the saddle again now! I make a couple of incredible curries, I have to say! Tonight I'm making chicken kievs so I hope that will go well.....</p> <p>As for LO... getting formula into her is a struggle and she wont touch my baby rice so I guess she thinks I'm a pretty rubbish cook already!!! :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1243527 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 09:12:34 +0000 Ash 1243527@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: well poo!<br /> <a href="http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/18397/slow-cooker-bbq-pork-chops" rel="nofollow">http://m.allrecipes.com/recipe/18397/slow-cooker-bbq-pork-chops</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1243508 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 09:06:51 +0000 LuLu Mom 1243508@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Ash: I usually use the crockpot but they still seem dry :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1243492 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 08:59:56 +0000 JerricaBenton 1243492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think so! My husband and family really like my cooking, and I've got a few family members who would say if they didn't! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1243484 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 08:58:27 +0000 Mrs. Twine 1243484@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We'll chat. :) Cooking yummy stuff is no guarantee-- Ellie in particular still regularly refuses to even try some of my food. As for taste, I will submit to you that most people who have tasted my food have suggested I open a restaurant. I love to cook, and it is really gratifying on a personal level to cook good food. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1243458 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 08:44:49 +0000 Kimberlybee 1243458@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Having a couple of chefs in the family, I know my food is not delicious, it's probably a little better than edible. I have a few dishes that I have perfected but I am trying new recipes and techniques to make my food better. I wish I had someone who could have a simple taste palette to just eat whatever I experiment with. My husband who is a picky eater but doesn't think he is just loves it when I cook my specialties but I want to try new things too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1243428 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 08:25:54 +0000 Ash 1243428@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LuLu Mom: crock pot!</p> <p>@lawbee11: maybe it is fantastic! ;)</p> <p>I think I'm an okay cook. There are a few delicious meals I make... but dh is pretty simple when it comes to food so he doesn't have the highest expectations. Thanks goodness. I'm the one who gets disappointed when dinner is a dud. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1243239 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 01:04:10 +0000 HLK208 1243239@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: lol same!</p> <p>My cooking is just okay. There isn't one dish that is amazing. I over think cooking and I add way too much of one ingredient and not enough of another! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1243236 Tue, 26 Nov 2013 00:55:16 +0000 indi 1243236@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a salmon dish that is my pride, as well. Salmon, red onion, and fresh pineapple kabobs. Mmm.</p> <p>I think most of my cooking is B+ or above, but it's a combo of finding our favorites and perfecting them and ditching the dishes from the rotation that were just not that good. I pretty much melted when I overheard DH bragging about my cooking skills, because it is well known that I used to HATE cooking and never would do it. He was happily surprised to find out that I just didn't cook often, not that I sucked. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1242212 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:11:42 +0000 mrs. bird 1242212@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i like to think so! :) i like to cook, but most of what i cook is from other people's recipes, sometimes i fudge it &amp; those turn out pretty well too though </p> <p> @lawbee11: hahaha. i like it, expectations are everything ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1242196 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:07:17 +0000 GrapeCrush 1242196@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>my husband says it is, i think he's just being nice. haha </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1242185 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 15:03:12 +0000 blackbird 1242185@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am a great cook, but I cook very simply now that I have LO, so I think it is ultimately is that I use quality/fresh ingredients. But, I'm a firm believer that if you can read a recipe, you can make just about anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1242133 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:50:36 +0000 sunny 1242133@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm pretty mediocre. Cooking isn't that enjoyable when it's during week nights since we are so busy. I do like it when both my husband and I can take our time with it.</p> <p>There are a few things that I think I do a good job with though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1242078 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:39:03 +0000 Sapphiresun 1242078@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm an ok cook. The recipes I learned growing up probably lean toward the "comfort food" type meals, which while amazingly delicious aren't ideal for a day to day diet. </p> <p>I have a rocky relationship with food, and am trying to kind of teach myself that "food is fuel" and not every meal needs to be the most delicious thing ever, or shifting my idea of what is delicious. But my typical meals now are nutritionally sound, but pretty simple. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241948 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 14:13:00 +0000 SugarplumsMom 1241948@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I strive to cook like a grandma! :happy: I think I can hold my ground against them :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241799 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:32:10 +0000 mrsjyw 1241799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't think everything I make is OMGNOMNOM, but I think I'm a good cook. (And DH and DS seem to think so! :P) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241789 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:30:32 +0000 littlebug 1241789@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think my cooking is alright. Hubs says it's delicious. I'm not sure if he's being serious or just being nice. I think it also helps that he grew up with a mom who overcooked EVERYTHING, so when meats and veggies are done properly, he goes gaga for them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241776 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:28:04 +0000 sarac 1241776@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I take pride in being a really excellent cook. I'm like a frustrated artist - totally bad at any and all art, but wanting to express my self artistically! So I spend a lot of time finding fun recipes and new flavor combinations to try. My family loves my cooking, and I really enjoy doing it.</p> <p>I just cooked a 21 pound turkey for my friend-thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit. I was so proud! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241774 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:27:28 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 1241774@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I know how to make a few things really well. Holiday cooking is definitely in my wheel house. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241753 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:21:09 +0000 buffalove 1241753@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a better-than-average cook. I find that fresh ingredients and well-seasoned food (esp veggies) make a huge difference in how much DS eats. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241709 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:12:51 +0000 lawbee11 1241709@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely not. Luckily my DH grew up on TV dinners so he thinks it's fantastic. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241701 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:11:19 +0000 Arden 1241701@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. My cooking is awesome.</p> <p>And I am very humble. ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241673 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 13:03:38 +0000 MapleMoose 1241673@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've been told by many that my cooking is amazing. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241592 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:49:04 +0000 dagret 1241592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think both DH and I are excellent cooks! I'm a better planner though. He'll cook and let things languish in the fridge, I plan to utilize the leftovers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241587 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:46:46 +0000 LovelyPlum 1241587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@plantains: thanks! I always, always overcook them, though I'm trying to get better. Lately, DH has been the pork cook, but I want to learn, too! I'll give that link a try. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241544 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:35:17 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 1241544@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm a pretty good cook! My DH never complains. I haven't tried feeding a toddler yet though. That sounds very challenging. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241520 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:29:04 +0000 lovehoneybee 1241520@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I make some things well but forgettable, and have several dishes that are exceptional. Not necessarily fancy or anything, just ones I've made over and over again and tweaked with a lot. Applesauce pancakes, biscuits and gravy, black bean and spinach enchiladas with either a homemade enchilada sauce or spicy sweet potato sauce, asparagus or vegetable lasagna, cast iron steak, different kinds of orzo risotto (mushroom and/or asparagus and pumpkin/butternut squash/sweet potato are my favorites). </p> <p>Soups are my favorite to make, though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241423 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 12:03:41 +0000 MCD919 1241423@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope sometimes! I love cooking and trying new recipes, so I like to think it's pretty good if I'm putting a lot of effort in. DH likes it, so there's that ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/is-your-food-delicious#post-1241287 Mon, 25 Nov 2013 11:34:17 +0000 Greentea 1241287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Salmon, yum! Husband says I am a great cook but he taught me. I openly hate cooking. :) Now that we have lo he does all of it! :) </p>
