I don't think I'm a horrible cook. I can whip up a meal in good time. And I have some tested and true receipes that I follow. Dan, almost, always likes what I make for dinner and I've heard few complaints from guests that stop by. However, I'm leary of trying new things in the kitchen. I always enjoy new tastes when I'm out, but ask me to cook it and I'm going to freeze. I can take my old recipes and adjust them...add more of this, less of that, throw in pork instead of chicken, etc. But brand new flavours make me nervous.
So last night I challenged myself. I wanted to try something new, something different. So I made Katie's Mustard Baked Chicken. (I must confess that I've made the chicken before just not the pasta...and I only put a LITTLE of the paprika last time. I was ascared!)
So how did it turn out, you ask? WONDERFUL!! The chicken was delicious (this time I followed the receipe to a T) and the pasta (with some grilled veggies) was delicious! I think I'm on the road to new adventures in the kitchen. But we'll see...
