Cooking Again

When I was living at home with my parents for the better part of this past year, I didn't cook a single time for myself, largely because I didn't want to buy more groceries that would end up getting confused with my parents' stuff (and because I was generally too lazy to cook in the first place). Instead, I either ate out, ate cereal and snacks (usually healthy ones), or let my parents cook or take me out.

Now that I'm living on my own though, I feel independent enough to want to start cooking for myself again, so I've returned to my two common dishes I made in The Netherlands: ground beef w/tomatoes and cheese, and spaghetti with ground beef mixed into the pre-made sauce. I also know how to fix eggs, some chicken, and that 'I Can't Believe it's Not Lasagna' dish I made for Dave and Carla, but I haven't gotten around to doing any of these yet.

Still, it feels good to be cooking stuff again, despite how easy and uninspired my dishes are. Now my next step is to pull out A Man, A Can, A Plan and go to town!
