(mis)Adventures in Cooking…

So I tried something tonight that I don’t normally do…I cooked. Now if you give me a cake recipe, a cookie recipe, or some type of baking I love it!!! But I have decided to start cooking more in the hopes of saving money and also because I have access to tons of recipes but just never cooked them. Also because when cooking for one you end up with a lot of leftovers and it’s just not as much fun not getting to share.  Anyway so I searched for a recipe last night and found a couple that looked good.

Then off to the store I went this in and of itself was interesting…well after roaming the store to find everything and having to do a Google search on my Phone to learn what a certain ingredient was I headed home.

So tonight I decided to cook one of my new recipes…Baked Ziti with Turkey Sausage! As I started to gather my ingredients and realized I was short one...so then after a quick trip to WinnDixie I was set.

After chopping and mixing and getting things ready to cook...I put all the required ingredients into the pot…and quickly realized that the pot was a little too small….the recipe told me to stir often…..that was a problem.



Anywhoo…once I got everything mixed together and into the pan it went and into the oven……and 20 minutes later….


I started the cooking at 6:30 and finished cooking at 8:30…it tasted really good J Hopefully I can cut my cooking time in half next time…next recipe Mexican Style Brown Rice…stay tuned for the results…
