I try to make it delicious! I love to cook, and when things aren't yummy, or just OK, it makes me pretty sad. There are a few things I cannot make taste yummy, for whatever reason: homemade hash browns, oven baked fries, pork chops, tomato sauce, and broths come to mind. Trying to work out the kinks before I'm cooking for kiddos!

ETA: I've always had a rocky relationship with food, so I find that if I focus on it tasting good, and I don't eat anything that doesn't, I end up eating for the right reasons, and not emotionally eating. Food is my guilty pleasure, and if I need to limit how much I am eating, I want to make sure that everything that I DO eat tastes as yummy as possible!

@LuLu Mom: I do simple shake n bake with porkchops with great results! especially bone-in!

I'm a pretty picky eater so anything I make that is not a new recipe I'm trying is very delicious to me!

My cooking is pretty good, but my son eats none of it, so I have no idea who's the fool in this situation!

I think I am pretty good at putting together things with layers of flavor and not relying on a lot of premade things. But I don't always have the time, so there's compromise going on.

My cooking is awesome LO likes it, although some things are hit and miss for her but I don't take it personally since she's a toddler.

My cooking is pretty delicious I believe. LO approves:)

@LovelyPlum: Pan Sauteed bone in pork chops should come out great as long as you aren't afraid to season aggressively and you don't overcook. This is a useful recipe/guide:

I think my cooking is mediocre. Just simple and never complicated. Salt, pepper, olive oil, and soy sauce are my bff's in the kitchen. I roast most veggies. Somehow LO loves my food and makes meal time manageable.

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

I'm a pretty good cook! My DH never complains. I haven't tried feeding a toddler yet though. That sounds very challenging.

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.

Yes. My cooking is awesome.

And I am very humble.

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.

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.

I just cooked a 21 pound turkey for my friend-thanksgiving, and it was a huge hit. I was so proud!

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)

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.

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.

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.

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 & those turn out pretty well too though

@lawbee11: hahaha. i like it, expectations are everything

@lawbee11: lol same!

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!

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.

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!

@LuLu Mom: well poo!
