Guess what I did last night?! I cooked! I know. It's a shocker for everyone. Well, if that didn't shock you, it's time that you know that I'm a baker, not a cook. Ryan does all of the cooking at the house because I am terrible at it. Now I know that some of you may say, "But Jillian, you make a fantastic lasagna or chicken and rice casserole." Well, hate to burst your bubble, but that's baking. There is very little cooking involved in making those recipes.
Anyway, I cooked last night. I made Portobello Mushroom Pizza inspired by a pin I found on Pinterest. I chose this recipe because it actually fit into my diet and I've been missing pizza a little bit. It's full of veggies, just enough fat with the cheese and olive oil, and Ryan suggested that I add a little bit of beef (we had some venison to use) for some protein. I did most of the prep. Ryan fixed the venison and finished chopping some ingredients after I cut my finger :(. It was super easy to fix though and it was pretty good.
I learned quite a bit from cooking and even stuck to one of my resolutions! I'm a little better at chopping than I was before (I didn't use one of those chopping things), learned a lot about different ingredients (had to get the portobello mushrooms and leeks from EarthFare, wish I could shop there more!), found out the fixing dinner right after an intense work-out is super difficult, and that patience is still a virtue. I'm so appreciative that Ryan was willing to help me and I'm super appreciative that he always cooks. I don't really find it fun, but I'm so blessed that he does. I'm so thankful that he cooks so I don't have to eat ramen everyday.
Anyway, that's my post for now. Hopefully, I'll have another one to talk about a successful recipe cooked. If you don't see a post, then it ended badly. lol. ;)
