I'm a cooking queen today. I have three loaves of sour dough bread rising. Mashed taters are in the crockpot and I'm going to make mini meat loaves for the first time ever.

I admit that I've always been afraid to make meatloaf. The thought of mixing all of the meat just freaks me out for some reason. It's the large amount of meat that is unappealing to me. Someone mentioned mini loaves and my mind was blown.

Roast is in the crock pot at home with potatoes and carrots, and I'll be making brown butter noodles to accompany it tonight.

 I'm not scared to work/cook any food, but there are some I just won't because I find them disgusting. (I'm not a fish eater).

DH is working late and I have class so when I'm done DS and I are getting a pizza.

I wanna make homemade noodles. But it'll never happen.

Going out to eat tonight, but I put black beans to soak... going to make my killer black bean soup tomorrow.

I'm too scared to cook any kind of shellfish (lobster, crab, etc).  Basically anything that must be boiled alive is off my list.

Well, I never made my broccoli and cheddar stuffed chicken last night since DH wound up working a double, so maybe I'll do that tonight after my kickboxing class.

 I'll admit I was scared to boild lobsters for the first time a few months back because of the whole "throw them in live" thing... but I don't mind so much anymore!

 My pup on the other hand...

Yum.

I am scared/don't like to work with any meat on a bone. :/ I know, I know. I still do it though.
Oh and seafood. I don't eat it. My poor husband.

Leftovers tonight (Turkey Meatballs from last night)

 

Still have yet to cook fish in the house.  I think I am just scared of it smelling up the place. But, I am determined to make a salmon recipe for my DH sometime soon.

Shrimp tacos tonight but DH hinted he might make dinner tonight which would probably be his aahhhmazing enchiladas.

 I have yet to use the broiler.  Was never taught how to use it and I still can't get myself to try it.

I have only used my broiler if I need to brown the top of something/melt cheese quick or am making open faced sandwiches... Other than that, I've got no clue.

WFD: Salad with grilled chicken.

Afraid to make: Prime rib. It would probably come out great, but I'm afraid of ruining a $70 piece of meat.

Good point! I have never cooked a live lobster and I don't think I can bring myself to do it. Do they scream? I don't think I could eat them if they did.

I do love lobster if someone else wants to do the dirty work for me.

Mabjcb: LOL She usually jumps up with her front paws on the counter whenever I cook to sniff around...when she saw me pull this bad boy out of the paper bag I imagine she thought "WHOA! I did NOT see that coming"

Whatcha eating tonight? I saw somebody on here yesterday post breakfast cupcakes (toast at the bottom of the cupcake pan, bacon around the sides and crack an egg inside) we are having that. So excited.


Is there any food that you're afraid to work with? Afraid to make? I am a crazy person when working with chicken. I got poisoned once eating it not cooked well enough, and now I use the meat thermometer on just about every inch.

We both have weird schedules so tonight is our "Saturday" night. We are going to Carraba's with a bunch of friends...yum! 

I must say, I'm amazed at how many people are afraid of seafood, it's some of the easiest stuff to cook! I'm intimidated by some of the more difficult beef dishes (i.e. beef wellington). H is from Texas so ruining good beef is a sin!

Trying out a chicken salad recipe from weight watchers. 

I am a picky eater, so I don't cook with food I don't like because I don't eat it.  I don't eat seafood or many kinds of beans...those are two I can think of off the top of my head.

Beef barley soup!

I don't think I'd ever cook with squid. While I love some calamari when I'm out to dinner, I'm totally petrified it would turn into rubber if I made it. Cleaning it is also enough to turn me off to cooking it.

I am having a big salad for dinner.  I have been eating like crap lately.

And, I hate to touch any meat.  I don't eat much meat (texture issue) anyway and seeing it raw is a big no no.  Poor DH.  I need to get over it before DD gets much older.

Probably ham and beans.  I made a big pot of it on Sunday and we then eat it for several meals during the week.  I'll make a fresh batch of cornbread muffins.   

http://www.mommyskitchen.net/2009/01/crock-pot-pinto-beans-ham.html

 If DH is tired of eating ham and beans, then we'll probably have breakfast for dinner. (eggs, bacon, & hashbrowns)

 

I'm not very good at cooking food on the grill.  DH loves grilling though, so I've never really had to learn.  The few times I've tried when he's not home, I've either burned it, or it was really dry.

Probably eating out because I have class and so won't be home until 9:30 tonight.

I am not afraid of anything really, though organs make me nervous because they und up so horrible if made wrong. Also hash browns always burn on me :-(

Not lobster but... DH made hard boiled eggs the other night and there must have been water under the pot when he turned the burner on because there was a high pitched chirping going on-it was creepy!

Tuna noodle casserole and some sort of veggies (whatever is in the freezer)

I don't LOVE working with any types of raw meats, but I haven't found one that I don't like.  My sister and I did have to prepare fresh shrimp for Christmas and I made her pop the heads off-I couldn't handle it.
