Just Simply Cooking

Welcome!!

This blog is devoted to the basics of cooking. I love to cook, and I love to teach, so what better way to bring 2 of my favorite things together! Aside from teaching the basics of cooking, I want to focus on cooking smaller portioned meals. I LOVE watching cooking shows, but I often think about how I could make these dishes without having an army of people to feed it all to! Throughout my life, I have cooked for just myself, but also a family of two, three and four! I always think about how to make smaller portioned recipes and not let food go to waste. 

I am also a realist. I like to cook with everyday ingredients that are readily available to everyone. Fancy is fun for special occasions, but not the best when you have a picky kid, or you are on a budget. Whether you are a college student learning to cook on your own, a young newlywed trying to expand your recipe book, someone who is starting to dabble in the kitchen at any age, or someone cooking for a whole family, I hope there is something here for everyone.
