Cooking 101

So as we all know, Thanksgiving is on it's way. I'm at that age where I'm ready to start really learning how to cook. Let me correct myself, I mean more than just the basics because I've got that down; I mean the good stuff, the southern meals that take hours to make and hours to eat or days. I'm taking all the advice I can get to help me on this cooking journey.
Sadly, I will not be able to attend one family Thanksgiving dinner, but I will be sending my husband with some well made food (I hope). I have been practicing though and it helps to live near two ladies that know a thing or two about cooking.
So far I have made a wonderful broccoli casserole dish that was really good, an amazing chocolate pecan pie (oh yeah), and a pork loin that my husband loved but I didn't too much care for. There are of course a few other dishes that I would like to try before the family get together, but being that there is more than one family gathering this year I'll be okay if I don't get them all in on the dinner I'll be missing.




Funny enough, the family dinner I'll be missing is with my family, my husband will be going without me and I will be going with my Mother-in-law to see a show that we had planned for a good little while now. I think this is funny because he will be with my family and I'll be with his.
Well, wish me the best as I continue to work towards becoming domesticated! A wife who can cook! My Granny would be so proud.
