Even though I can't cook I thought I would link up with Ashley from Let's Get Bananas! I thought maybe I could learn a thing or two from these girls!
I made this roast a few weeks ago.
It tasted better then it looks.
But generally Josh is the master chef in our house.

But I'm going to be honest with you...I will probably end up cutting up some cheese and grabbing some chips (sorry guests!)
What are your favorite appetizers to make? Did you struggle when you first started cooking?
Also today I am linking up with A Girl and Her Sparkles on a previous Christmas Post I did during Christmas week. Go Check her out though (She is awesome!)

I will have to check it out! I need all the help I can get!
DeleteI did notice. I'm sure a lot of people will be very upset losing their followers. Of course I will follow you on bloglovin'
ReplyDeleteWhen i first started cooking I would look up recipes on blogs or that i saw on food network and tried them out on my roommates and friends. Practice made it better because they think I am a great cook and i still don't think so.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up and have fun at your party :)

Thank you! My boyfriend is a pretty good sport about trying the things I cook so I will have to branch out and try to cook more often!
DeleteThis is the perfect linkup to get lots of cooking practice. I had to self teach myself a lot since growing up my Dad was a horrible cook (sorry Dad) but I just picked a recipe a week from a cookbook or Pinterest and tried it. You will learn more and more what you can swap out and branch out more. All you can do is try! :)
ReplyDeleteExactly, thanks!
DeleteThanks for sharing this link up! I'd never heard of it but it's a great way to find new recipes! I got married this summer and that is when I actually started making dinners. If you google Mix and Match Mama, she has TONS of simple easy recipes! I make so many of hers. I'm finding the more practice I put in, the easier it is getting!
ReplyDeleteI will have to check her out! Thanks for sharing!
Deleteawwww angi! i can't get over this, this is so so so sweet! you lovely lady. i'm sure you're a marvellous cook - most people are generally better than they think once they learn to just relax about it! and this was a super inspiring post. bacon and guacamole.... omg. stop!

Aw! That is pretty true though, I want to be an iron chef right away and thats just not how it works!
DeleteWhen Joey and I first moved in together I had a LOT of disasters! There were plenty of nights we had to order pizza because my dishes weren't edible. But the more I cooked, the better I was in the kitchen and now I love it! I personally think your roast looks delish!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! That actually made me a little inspired, ha! I will get there, it takes time right!
DeleteI love this post!! This is so sweet and everything looks so delicious!! :)

Will do! Thank you!
DeleteThe bacon and guac is making me hungry. I'm not much of a cook either, but you can't go wrong with bringing a cheese/wine plate if nothing else.

Exactly what I decided on! Easy and tastes good!
DeleteI've always wanted to make those mini tacos! Did you cook your pot roast in the crock pot? Thats how I make mine an dI love it!
ReplyDeletewww.amemoryofus.blogspot.com
Yup! It was in the crockpot all day. I think I like cooking crockpot style better because I'm just more motivated in the morning.
DeleteThe mini tacos looks amazingly delicious, plus I have a feeling kids will love them! By the way everyone sucks at cooking in one way or another (like how I suck at baking), haha, it's just best to remember that it's an art as well as science. Science, because you have to add the right flavors and art because of the plating. But whatever you do DO NOT beat yourself up or compare your dishes to anyone else. They might just have a natural gift for cooking :)

Thank you dear! That meant a lot!
DeleteGirl, I should not be reading your blog on a empty stomach. You are making me mega hungry! Can I just have all of these? And for the record that roast looks SO yummy. Make me some please? :P Happy Holidays xo
ReplyDeleteAww thanks! I was hungry as I was posting this yesterday and was definitely ready to eat when I was done, ha!
DeleteThose appetizers look SO good!!!!! I may have to try making those bacon ones!!!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine them being too hard to make. If you ever do make them let me know how they turn out!
DeleteOh those mini tacos look amazing!! You are making me hungry just looking at all these! My hubs is the main cook at our house :) Thanks for linking up!

I'm glad I'm not the only one that let's the man of the house do all the cooking!
DeleteI don't eat meat but those bacon and guac bites look like something people would KILL for if I brought them to a par-tay!
ReplyDeleteYou are always so punny!
Deletebacon and guac! hand 'em over!
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness those apps look so good! I've made the mini tacos before but with wonton shells rather than cutting the tortilla shells. Taco layer dip, buffalo chicken dip, and cream cheese ball are my three favorite (and EASY) go to meals. Best of luck to you with your cooking and holiday hosting! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is actually a great idea! I will have to try that!
