Do You Like to Cook?

[SyAn]

I don't like cooking for people I don't know, stresses me out, but otherwise I quite like cooking, probably because my husband is so uncomplicated and appreciative!

Most meals I cook are 'invented', I often start cooking and then change my mind in the middle of it - cooking the same things over and over would just be too boring. Since I cook a hot meal every day I might as well have fun doing it

I cook entirely for myself, housemate and family. I don't really eat the same standard of good I give to them haha (they get the good stuff and I'll eat anything bad instead of them)

I like baking in particular. I seem to do much better with it since it's a "one step at a time" type deal. When it comes to cooking a full course meal I get stressed and usually burn something while concentrating on a different portion of the meal (i.e. the veggies end up boiling too long because I get caught up whisking gravy), but I refuse to cook all the different parts one-at-a-time because I can't stand having to reheat something I just made; it's like an oxymoron. If only the hubby and I didn't have such an aversion to processed foods I'd just buy a meal in a bag to warm in a skillet!

Do you ever make a huge batch of food like soup or sauce and freeze it? you get prepared then for the week with no panic or rush to put food on the table! You can switch off a bit and enjoy cooking without the pressure of someone expecting you to give them food xD

Hmmmm... Sounds like a great idea for my boys. The hubby on the other hand is super picky and won't eat left-overs or anything re-heated, but I could at least eliminate lunch hassle with that trick, thanks!

I put food together to eat during dinner. I am not creative enough to cook.

Cooking isn't really my thing, but I've seen so many drool-worthy recipes on Pinterest. Now I want to make my own queso - it simply doesn't exist where I live!

I try to help my boyfriend cook because he seems to know what he's doing, but I have a habit of either burning everything or severely undercooking everything and can't seem to get it right.
