I come from a long line of non-cooks. My grandmother's idea of cooking is going out to a resturant and picking up the bill, and my mother's idea of cooking all comes from a box. These are just some of the recipies that I have come across and have added to my (limited) repertoire as I attempt to figure out what the kitchen is for! They are all easy enough that even I didn't screw them up! Enjoy!!
