I can't cook. I'm not trying to be modest or cute, I really can't cook. BUT, I can follow a recipe. In fact, it is probably more like I hold on to recipes for dear life, because ANY deviation turns into a disaster. Now, anytime I really need my cooking to impress I use allrecipes.com, the invention that has changed my life.
Since my discovery, I have cooked for first dates and impressed them with my cooking abilities to the point that I have had invitations for second dates. My new secret weapon has led to friends asking me to cook for their wedding receptions. Coworkers and all of my eight siblings insist that I make their birthday cakes. Two almost mother-in-laws (yes, I may have been engaged more than once...) have asked for my help in the kitchen. I have even been paid to cook! People now ask ME for my recipes! I just smile and give them a handwritten copy of the recipe that I found. :)
If you are in need of fabulous recipes, check out allrecipes.com. My only advice is to check the reviews before you make anything. You will find recipes you can't live without!

Haha congrats! It's good to hear fellow non-cookers succeed - I have the same problem. Unfortunately, I also have a second problem, and that's that I cannot follow a recipe either. Sample of my daily cooking routine:
ReplyDelete"Wait was that supposed to be one cup instead of two? Ooops.."
"Blast... that says sugar doesn't it? Is it bad that I put salt in instead?"
"I only forgot about it for 6 extra minutes, I don't know how it could have got so burned...."
Guess my husband is stuck with hamburger helper forever...
