purposedly, in the kitchen.

I am no master in the kitchen.  I am in fact, a newb.  Some days i whip up good food using my own imagination, some days, i get inspired by another recipe (so thankful for YouTube!) i start tweakin' and 30 mins or so later of drooling for the finished product, voila, the food from my stove is just blah. T_T

Although my hubby has got way more kitchen sense than me, i am the cook in the family, because i am the full-time homemaker these past few months.  It has been a real real real real challenge to deliver good food on the table. Oh how the pressure piles up!  😭

• 3 meals plus AM & PM kids snacks in a day   
• 7 days, 1 whole week, every week, every month   
• not just edible or palatable, but it must be finger-lickin' good  
• very important, it should be healthy!   
• not to forget, varied too, to keep taste buds excited! 
• bonus challenge -- young palates that are still on training for more adventure

I bet this is the challenge for most of us assigned in the family kitchen, well, save for the likes of Rachel Ray, that is. ^_^  And if you are one of those with skills like hers, you are so blessed indeed!   
...So, in my case, cooking for me is truly, literally, a labor of love. There are days i very much enjoy doing it, and some off days.  But sometimes even with a full pantry or not, this cheffed up brain keeps comin' up blank. I so wish i had my mom's cooking talent, bless her heart, she's always WonderWoman in the kitchen!  Still, hope floats. After all, keep using your gifts no matter how small, and God will multiply it.  So,
