| Help! I hate to cook!!
Perhaps it is because I don't really know how to cook. Any good "learn how to cook" cookbooks out there? Simple recipes, that even I could make? I would love to take a cooking class, but they do not offer one locally. Thanks, in advance!

Rombauer, Marion Rombauer Becker, Ethan Becker: Books And look they even have a website Joy of Cooking Joy Kitchen Also this might help Basic Cooking Techniques Cooking Techniques for Beginner and Intermediate Cooks With a little creativity you may be able to find everything you need online. Just google Basic Cooking Techniques or How to .... Good luck and remember cooking is about having fun and mixing flavors that you like.

Thanks! I did go online last night and get a pork chop recipe. I managed to cook them without butchering them! Yay!! Every time I make them, DH says I way overcook them. Last night he ate 3 of them (he is dieting, and I am trying to make extra protein and avoid the carbs), so that is a good sign that I didn't mess them up. Oh - and I also ordered a book (I did some investigating online) : Amazon.com: The "I Don't Know How to Cook" Book: 300 Great Recipes You Can’t Mess Up! (9781598697032): MaryLane Kamberg: Books Fingers crossed for me.
