I cook at home a lot and have become a lot better since I moved to Portland. A few years ago I could barely make scrambled eggs! But cooking is like everything in life...you have to try new things to keep interested. The key is a good thick cookbook so you can always find something that sounds good to eat and adventurous to make. These are my staples right now...
I also have been subscribing to Cooking Light this year and when I find a recipe that I want to make again I collect them in a recipe box (another one of my paper crafts). It's a good way to get started.
Tonight I made Chicken Roulades, which is basically mozzarella, roasted red peppers and basil rolled into the center of a chicken breast like chicken cordon bleu. The roasted red peppers were the most fun to make because I had never tried it before. You just broil them for 8-10 minutes until they char and blister and then after they cool for 15 minutes, the skin peels right off.
It turned out really well! And the extra basil was great with a tomato-cucumber salad.
