About Us

This is a blog about 3 inexperienced cooks, Mother and her two daughters, learning how to cook together. We have decided that in order to learn how to cook, we just need to jump into it and try recipes.

The Challenge: For each of us to try one new recipe every other week, together in the kitchen. One of us will try an appetizer/side dish, one of us will try an entree and the other will try a dessert. Each time we meet we will rotate our tasks.

Janice (Mom)- Retired, sixty-something. Married 36 years. Mother of 5. Grandmother of 7. Great Grandmother of 1. Volunteers at the local library a couple times a week. Cooking experience: Typically prepackaged meals. Would rather not cook and dine out or order take out :)

Tammy (Daughter)- Stay at home mom/Business Owner. 35 years old. Married 11 years. Mother of two (ages 7 and 2). Cooking experience: Can follow a basic recipe ( as long as it is not too complicated or time consuming). Cooks a couple times a week. Does some prepackaged meals (i.e. Mac and Cheese) and some not. Loves to cook :)

Melissa (Daughter) - Full time producer of PBS television show. 27 years old. In a serious relationship. Children and marriage in her future :) Cooking experience: Not much. Tends to make a lot of mistakes when cooking. Seriously ....... she has messed up Pasta Roni :) Loves to cook and anxious to learn.

We will be posting the recipes with pictures, video and our suggestions to make each one better. This shall be very funny as we seriously don't know anything about cooking and we already know we will make too many mistakes to count. However, that is the only way to learn and we are willing to jump in head first. We'd love for this blog to help us document our trials but also allow others to laugh along with us and maybe learn new recipes at the same time. Enjoy!
