If you can follow a recipe, then you can cook! I am proof. I found myself in the south eating so many fabulous homemade dishes, so I started asking for recipes. Then made them over and over until I became confident that my dishes were delicious too. You can do the same! Anyone CAN cook!
I can point back to the one thing that has literally saved me hundreds of hours in the span of my 28 year home cooking career: "Cook once, eat twice!" That means, when you're already doing the thing; you've got all the ingredients out, the supplies pulled and messy, you go ahead and make a double batch, so you've got a second portion prepped for next time. Bulk cooking. It's beautiful! For times when life's super busy, or when you just don't feel like cooking, & when sharing
