This summer I have decided to teach myself to cook. As a beginner cook, I am starting with simple recipes I find on allrecipes.com, which is a GREAT site for finding recipes. You can search for recipes by ingredient, read reviews, find nutritional info, save and file recipes in an online recipe box and/or print recipes. I used this website to find a recipe teaching me to cook roasted new potatoes and Parmesan roasted asparagus. I also made spinach stuffed chicken breasts (Locke really enjoyed this dish) and tonight, Alfredo Lasagna (with chicken and spinach...the spinach and chicken combo in two dishes was purely coincidental). And I haven't only made dishes from recipes... Last night we hadn't gone to the grocery store in a while so we didn't have much to work with; however, we did have several types of beans and some corn bread mix. So I looked up spices that can go in bean soup and used what I had to make a fairly delicious concoction. I also spiced up the corn bread to make what I call "Sweet corn bread" by adding brown sugar and cinnamon.With the extra time I have this summer, I have enjoyed learning to cook and even experimenting with flavors and ingredients. And Locke has seemed to enjoy it too! :)

perhaps you would be willing to post the link for those two recipes with the chicken and spinach? i would love to get those from you! another website that i really like using to find recipes is www.recipezaar.com (although at the end of the month they are becoming food.com). good luck on learning to cook! :)
haha, btw- that "hebronstephanie" is stephanie from women's group. i had an old live journal from when i went to hebron 3 years ago and it brought up that old account when i commented. just wanted you to know who i am. . . :)
im impressed! check out supercook.com, i like it because it brings up only recipes you can make with the things you currently have in your kitchen, so no running to the store for things!
