Can you cook? If so, what is the last thing you made?

I love to cook! In fact I just ordered a second slow cooker so that I can cook without heating the house up. It's too bad we're not supposed to swap recipes here, because I bet people have some great ones.

It is funny, the only thing it seems I can do well with cooking, is barbecuing. If I try to cook the same item on a frying pan, or oven, it just does not compare, and I always seem to mess up. I am terrible at baking, I will never try again. Frying is a hit or miss thing with me. Also, it seems I can only cook meats well. Maybe it is my inner cave man coming out?

I can cook pretty well actually. I tend to make up dishes too. I like to make seafood especially. The last thing I made was rigatoni pasta with shrimp and mussels in an alfredo sauce. It was very good and I still have leftovers in my fridge.

Cooking has been one of my passions since high school days. I just made homemade lasagna the other night. It is heavenly. Lots of ricotta and mozzarella cheeses are the answer. My family just loves it.

well about me. i really love cooking. and last time when i cooked some thing for me it was a Chicken. my friends came to my home and told me that they havent took meal yet. and my mom was not at home too so i had to make it really fast and good too :P and i did it too. thanks for the discussion

Thats very nice... Honestly I can cook, but only those easy to prepare foods such as instant noodles, instant soups and all the instants. I believe I'm very good in frying, you know I... I can marinate and fry almost everything chicken, pork, fish and all kinds of meat. Thats it.

Hey you forgot to mention me LOL--well I just had dinner and had fixed homemade chicken nuggets (have enough for another meal out of it), cooked up mixed veggies and french fries. One thing I would LOVE to have is a salad...now that the weather is hot and steamy and humid, this is perfect weather, but I'm hesitant to get lettuce after that recent Romaine Lettuce recall, and that's my favorite lettuce!!! Your dinner sounded great...I'm not much of a pork eater though..LOL

Thanks Ambie, I didn't know I had yummy sounding recipes... Actually today I am being lazy and just threw a pot roast in the crock pot. But a couple days ago, my son and I picked a cup of strawberries and so yesterday morning I baked homemade strawberry muffins...

hi ambiepam yes i can cook and did cook for my self before coming here and having to eat food cooked for me. My last meal I cooked was probably Barollis plus fetticini and italinan frozen meat balls with barelli plus tomato garlic sauce that I had added more garlic, some oregano and basil as they are stingy with the herbs. It was done wonderfully well and yes I just cooked for myself as my son had really weird hours at work. but i fed myself diabetic wise foods. I also do a wonderful roast beef and a wonderful beef stew. the beef stew they make here tastes a lot like mine so the cook does know how to cook when he gets on the ball. I used a lot of garlic and onion in my cooking for healths sake and some olive oil also. ate nuts for health sake altho actually as a person with diverticulitis I am not supposed to eat nuts.

I cook on a daily basis pretty much. You have to when you have a family to feed, the kids can't survive on fast food and microwavable meals.. not to mention I can afford it that much! LOL I cook apple pork chops frequently, though I don't add onions when I make them that way.. I think the onion and apple would contrast. Last night I made Carribean Jerk pork chops using a Lawry's marinade. I haven't decided what I'll be making tonight, maybe meatball subs using ground turkey and whole wheat sub rolls. I also bought a Hawaiian flavored marinade to try this week with chicken.. and hubby plans on grilling some bbq chicken this week too.

hi there..nice topic you got I stayed with my parents that's why my mom cooks for us. I don't know how to cook or even bake. i really wanted to learn but it seems that every time i tried to cook or bake, things got messed up.there was an instance that i tried to fry a fish . i poured the oil in the pan have the pan heated. but to my surprise the fire went inside the pan i grabbed the pan and pour water from the faucet. i did not know that once you pour water to the pan which is on fire it would have develop a huge fire. i burned some of the things at the kitchen and was scolded by my mom. a lesson to learn. but here's a thing.hope that someday as i have my own house i can have a good kitchen, recipes and somebody to inspire me, maybe i would not be afraid to try and i will be able to cook :)

Yes, though I am not really good at it. I just cooked dinner awhile ago. I dont really know what it's called because I just made it up. it is composed of vegetables and meat and soup.

I don't really cook since I still live with my parents. But I sure love to do it, since I'm in a particular grade where we cook things ourselves, such as lasagne. I can't wait to live alone and make a dish everyday^^ It's fun if you ask me. Experimenting with spices etc. sure keeps it interesting and motivating to make it even better ;-)

I can only cook fry foods , boiled eggs and noodles !! hahaha .. I hate cooking but I love eating !! hahaha

I can cook but don't like to. I do have phases of pastry baking, I think the last thing I made was an egg custard tart.

I can if I want to.....I have been on vacation for two weeks....well it was graduation time for my grandson and my daughter had to work right up until graduation day and they had a party the next...I made all of the salads etc...so I got a good dose of cooking. I made a macaroni salad...potato salad...another pasta salad and a fruit salad....cooking in three of them....also did some other cooking along the way....but my daughter and her husband are gourmet cooks....so I ate a ton of good stuff too!

Hi AmbiePam, That chop sounds delicious, I haven't had one in ages. I can cook but don't enjoy it that much, I like making cakes more than meals. The lastmeal I made was a corned beef hash. Think I buy some chops today now though, yummy. Huggles. Ellie:D

I cook because I have to for my family’s sake but I hate doing it! I have a set number of very simple meals that I prepare day to day. When my daughter was a baby and I didn’t work online or write I would try out recipes and do crazy things like bake or make pizza from scratch, you know the base and everything...Some meals used to turn out nice, some mediocre and some were total disasters! I don’t enjoy cooking at all; I would rather clean up than prepare meals. The dinner you prepared sounds delicious,I love onions, it’s nice that you do that for yourself, if I am alone I don’t even bother, naughty, I know...

Hi there AmbiePam...oh yes I can cook! I used to be a cook/chef/catering assistant for many years...thank goodness Im retired now...but still love to cook...now a days I Am trying to have my own blog about cooking for one for single people or just peolpe that live alone[which is the same anyway]...I call it My Gourmet Kitchen For One I do have a few recipes there but at the moment I Am trying to create new ones and this can take some time...is all about trial and error but I Am getting there...tonight I just made a mushroom and coriander sauce and served it with chinese egg noodles...to me tasted delicious but I still have to perfect the sauce. AmbiePam happy cooking your pork chops sounds perfect. Bon apettit!

we had a nice roast chicken which i made and i baked brownies last night...
