Disaster Chef

Let me preface this by admitting, I can't cook. It’s not that I hate it or won’t do it. I have a dozen or so tried and true recipes that are consistently edible. But Martha Stewart I am not. Before I got married, I made sure to emphasize to my now-husband that I would never be a domestic goddess, or his mom, or my mom, or anyone’s mom that makes elaborate meals that people rave about for weeks afterwards. I’m not what you’d call the Holly Housewife type. I’m closer to a Susan Mayer than a Bree Vandecamp. But, I recently married and decided to try my hand in the kitchen, often to my husband's chagrin.

Below you will find links to some of my cooking adventures, both the successes and the failures. Most are recipes from my Project Pinterest, where I've started trying to do some of the thousands of pins I've accumulated.
