Those recipes sound yummy. Sometimes I coat my chicken in mustard then roll in bread crumbs. Cuts some of the calories. And Tyler? Any man that hot and can cook… a keeper!

Hi everybody…Jules, this is a great topic for today…I started cooking when I was about 7 years old…that’s when I became the “mommy” in the family…I used to love cooking and my fav dishes were Jamaican dishes like Stew peas and Rice, Curry Goat, Stew Chicken and Rice, Rice and Peas and Chicken…those are really great dishes…later I ended up cooking meals for 8 people and I never got out of the habit of cooking for a large group…I liked cooking and experimenting with dishes, but when I was involuntarily re-classified as a cook in the military, I grew to HATE cooking…I don’t even like to make Ramen noodles, unless I really have to, anymore…the dishes that everyone has written about sound great…I tried Chicken Marsala, but the mushrooms killed it for me…I will talk to you all later…

Peace and love,
Paula R.

That sounds yummy Julie. Since I live by myself & have for a long time my cooking goes in spurts according to my mood! I’ve been in a slump lately relying on frozen foods, etc. I prefer fresh! Last night I made Carrot and Orange Soup, which I love & is healthy. In the winter I make a lot of soups & sometimes a stew then I have something for several days. If I get tired of it I just have something else to give the taste buds a break! Most of the things I love to make are for families but I make them anyway. There are some things I can put in the freezer for another time. I also love to bake which helps my hips & but to enlarge!! My grandson likes me to make him cookies & I do whenever the mood hits me. He has a birthday next month that will probably prompt me to make something for him. His favorites are Oatmeal Raisin & mine are Brownies or Chocolate Chip. Okay I think I will go heat up some leftover soup all this food talk is making me hungry!

Thanks for the recipe. I LOVED the comment on the Name the Paint department, too. Some nail polishes and lipsticks get that crazy, too.

Stacy~, I always order the same thing at the Cheesecake Factory, too. The shrimp scampi. Janelle turned me on to it. Every time I’ve tried to order something else, I’m hugely disappointed. Their pad thai is AWFUL. Ugh. Never do that one again.

At Carrabba’s, I always order the Chicken Parm. At Macaroni Grill, either the meat sauce pasta or the salmon on the risotto. Oh, that’s yummy! I have a set meal for just about every chain restaurant, LOLOL!

I will have to try your Aunt Rosie’s chicken the next time I have family in for the weekend. I’m single, so I do pretty simple and small meals. When my family comes for a visit I try to fix my lasagna or Italian noodles.

Cooking for our house changed drastically when Honey and I were diagnosed as diabetics. Now I only do
“old style” cooking for special occasions. I miss it, but our newer style of eating has paid off. I’ve lost
54 pounds over the last three years. What’s the saying about one door closing and another opening?
P. S. Don’t tell anyone, keep this just between you and I: I’m a native of Texas and I haven’t fried chicken
in more years than I can remember!

I can’t cook, but my dad and my cousin are great cooks. My dad’s specialty is roasted chicken and my cousin’s best dish is chicken parmigiana.
