One of my goals in order to feed my family healthy meals and save money is of course to cook meals at home instead of eating out or using prepared dinners. I do consider myself someone who can cook, but if you don't feel very saavy about cooking, hold your chin up high and give yourself some credit (and confidence). Can you read? (a recipe), can you follow directions? (you were told to all during elementary school), and can you pour, flip, and stir with the best of 'em? I bet you could. Get cooking! Meals made at home with fresh ingredients are much more healthy and economical (in general) than those premade frozen or fast food choices. Start with recipes that sound really tasty and read through them to see if they seem like something you can handle. Then... don't be afraid! There are so many options for success in cooking. Think of the recipe as a suggestion rather than a must do. Leave out the curry, add in more basil, chop up some carrots to add in, use a little less salt. The possibilities are endless because its all about what suits your tastes and desires. Deviating from the recipe doesn't mean you messed up, it means you modified, and that can be something really tasty.
Please note, in BAKING, the measurements are much more important, so take a bit more precaution when modifiing baking recipes.
