I used to say that I hate cooking and when I want to have some delicious meal I may eat outside. But because I don't have money to buy food in the malls, and I still want to eat some food, I have been thinking trying out the delicious looking recipes I see online. So I would keep more dishes on the coming days. I would just choose those who have simple and cheap ingredients. I don't want to cook those that need a lot of things like wine and other ingredients that i don't usually have on my kitchen. For now I would like to cook fish with sweet and sour sauce. And then I may try to learn how to cook spaghetti with shrimp in a red sauce or other kind of sauce. And also I may try to cook spaghetti with meat balls. I would cook them one a time.

I'm not a fan of cooking, but I love looking at food images and recipes, especially recipes that help you make foods quick and easy that still taste like you worked hard all day to make them. I won't cook outside in summer. I see no reason to stand outside in the heat while cooking over a hot grill that only makes it hotter. If a guy wants to do that, I will gladly let him!!

Eating at home is great, i think. Rarely i eat outside, not because of money, because i am afraid that food maynot clean. if eating out, i should choose a good restaurant only.
Currently i know to cook traditional cuisine only...I do cook every day, meat, beef, fish, eggs..i can make many traditional dishes and one dish i should eat every day is vegetable broth.
Spending time on cooking, you will find it very interesting...

Cooking is a great hobby and a great skill to have. Though buying food is efficient in a way, one can argue that cooking your own meal from scratch is much better for you health wise, much more comforting to enjoy, and definitely feels much more rewarding.
Personally, I enjoy making chili, it is very simple and taste delicious, curry also I very much enjoy. Any soup-like dishes that you can throw on rice on simply eat by themselves are usually the most simplest to create and enjoy

Well there are plenty of sites out there that can be used to get cooking directions innovative or not . In fact once I came across this site supercook , you can actually use this site to enter the ingredients and then using those it searches for recipes.
So instead of look for cheaper ingredients you could actually use what you might have already . The basic ingredients like salt, sugar, water, pepper etc. are taken for granted and hence you just have to enter specific ones , but not too specific for example you could enter ingredients like onions , ginger , flour , rice , shortening etc.
Other then that there are some other site of this type, that give out recipes sorted out with ingredients but this one seemed like the most convenient.

If you have the time to look the web for different sites that caters food and different kinds of menu ,go ahead, you just don't know what are you missing. My wife always cook the food that I love and it makes me happy to be with her always. How I wish, I have the time to cook, I'm not an expert in cooking, but I always wanted to do it. It's cheaper, safer and can be a way to bond with your loved ones.
