I am able to prepare a mean grilled cheese sandwich, an incredible sunny-side up fried egg and...well, actually I can't think of anything else. I've never had the desire to cook and fortunately my husband is a true gourmet. Or should I say, was a true gourmet until about 10 years ago when he decided to become really healthy and buff; so now it is chicken, egg whites, gluten-free everything and, then, more chicken. That's about the time I became so proficient with grilled cheese. My "healthy" meal now is the take out chicken cobb salad (no kale) with quinoa from Core Life on Thursday night.

I truly hope that I am never in a position to cook for myself, as I'm sure anything that I attempt will look like that "ugly baby" you referred to. Hopefully, when you move out west, Darien will discover that he loves cooking for you (perhaps he already does). My advice, get over the guilt, as nothing begun from guilt turns out pretty! xo

I tire of cooking for Instagram very quickly. I enjoy finding a dish I love and learning to make it or exploring how to change it up. I don’t try for beautiful looking dishes and I stay away from those that are overwhelmingly complex! Most importantly, I get take out meals a couple of times a week. So far it’s kept me enjoying my time in the kitchen.
