Common Cooking Mistakes



If you are a faithful reader of our blog you have noticed that there was a huge gap where there wasn't much posted on our blog. Holli and I both have agreed it is time to get back blogging. With vacation and Charly being sick for two weeks out of three, we have had to just hang on to our sanity. So I thought this blog post could be about mistakes.

We all make cooking mistakes. Let’s face it even the best of us mess up. Holli would be able to tell you stories about me; they always end with me stomping around angrily. Sometimes our mistakes are quick fixes and some turn our meal into a sinking ship. I admit I have had to abandon a meal because it was too far gone and just order pizza. Some of our mistakes we learn from, and others we keep repeating because we don’t know where we went wrong. Don’t let these mistakes discourage you in the kitchen. Life will go on and delivery is only a dial away. What makes a good…well anything in life is being able to pick yourself up and learn from it.

I ran across this article in Cooking Light and thought it would be good to pass on to you (our readers). There are many of these I have learned from the hard way and many others I haven’t done, but don’t want to in the future. I think many of you will be surprised how many cooking no-noes we make. I’m guilty of the over softening butter a lot! What are you most guilty of?
