Food is so much more than just food to me and I loved all the stories in this book!! :)Amber Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07784191631606085116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-58151247190542111802014-03-30T21:47:55.762-05:002014-03-30T21:47:55.762-05:00I'm intrigued by this book.

I...I have a love/hate relationship with cooking. I'm pretty good at following a recipe to make something good. I'm NOT good at creating/inventing or altering things too much. (Aka I'm not adventurous in the kitchen. My biggest cooking fear is making something new that I mess up or isn't good. Wasting food makes me feel incredibly guilty. Many nights I come home, and I'm furious that I have to make dinner because I'm tired. If I don't make dinner, I can't eat, which makes me even angrier. lol I much prefer cooking in the summer when I don't have to work! :)Becky Doughertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11137408537369933534noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-32234394677166251012014-03-28T12:41:05.423-05:002014-03-28T12:41:05.423-05:00I looooove cooking.

It's definitely a love language and how I like to show people I care...I think the hardest part of marriage so far, though, was learning that my cooking was NOT Isaiah's love language. He enjoys it and appreciates it, but there are other things he'd rather I do than just cook for him.<br /><br />So...I make up for that by baking his coworkers stuff all the time. Cupcakes for all their birthdays, etc.Angihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00394336849612797834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-51165837769105011082014-03-28T12:37:39.200-05:002014-03-28T12:37:39.200-05:00I loved the quotes you put in this post so much I ...I loved the quotes you put in this post so much I went and ordered the book at Barnes & Noble! <br />I used to not cook because I never needed to, but since moving to Kansas and getting married, cooking is something I love to do! <br />Thanks for the book recommendation!Malloryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11746295738835996978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-56494528515409033252014-03-28T12:13:26.543-05:002014-03-28T12:13:26.543-05:00Im glad you liked it!

I've made the white bean soup, the simple mouse, the maple tenderloin, risotto and steak au poivre (with out the sauce, but seriously, never occured to me that I can make steak on the skillet when kev isnt home to man the grill). They are all awesome!Kate @ Daffodilshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11014407841272156153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-68659779629580010692014-03-28T07:54:09.353-05:002014-03-28T07:54:09.353-05:00I don't love cooking just for the sake of cook...I don't love cooking just for the sake of cooking (my grandpa does, and I've always found that strange), but I love cooking as a skill and as a service and as meeting a need. And, honestly, I really, really enjoy the food I make, which is a pretty good motivation to eat at home, anyways!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07894832851934334471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1457422002171939579.post-25051243668929017082014-03-28T06:54:26.146-05:002014-03-28T06:54:26.146-05:00I'm so with you.

I can almost 100 % guarantee that's why my marriage with J is so much better now than it was in years past--because I've been allotted the time to actually prepare his meals for him (not in a 1950s wife way, but sort of I guess--I like it). My heart goes into food. It just does. We had friends visit last week and the husband kept insisting he order us pizza for dinner "because you're working so hard in the kitchen--too much work! Save it for dinner tomorrow, relax, hang out with us." No. I grew up in a house where we all hung out in the kitchen while my mom cooked meals. All of our important conversations, every tear, every laugh, was in the kitchen. I love the way you share your life AND food on this blog--you do it so well, friend. You just do. Because when I first started reading your blog I had no interest in recipes and yet I came back every day. Also--thank you SO much for sharing your go-to recipes. Now that J allows himself to eat carbs (praise jesus), I'll definitely be adding these to our rotation! <3 <3 Joey Hodges https://www.blogger.com/profile/03924167639294786738noreply@blogger.com
