I'm a Chef!

As some of you may know, I've been attempting my fair share of cooking over the past couple months. I've really ramped up my efforts over the past few weeks, and I've gotta say, every time I eat something I've made, I'm still shocked at how delicious it is! :) I've always said I can't cook, but I think the more accurate statement is that I never really tried. With some guidance and encouragement from L, I've done a lot of experimenting and have enjoyed every minute of it. Below are some photos of a few meals I have created recently. Some of them include pictures of the process, while others are just the final product. Click on the images to make them larger. Any questions, just ask. I'd be happy to share my kitchen secrets. ;)

Buffalo Chicken Wrap
(Buffalo chicken, ranch, bacon, lettuce, and cheese in a tortilla)










Steak and Peppers(Chuck-eye steak, garlic, onions, and peppers)
Served with rice.
























Chicken with Pan Sauce

(Hand-breaded chicken and homemade pan sauce)
The final presentation isn't the best, but it was awesome!























Italian Meal(Tomato basil chicken, garlic, onions, peppers, pepperoni, & cheese)
Served with pasta.
This meal ROCKED. Making it again tonight. :)























These are just a few photos of other meals I've had recently. This one is a variation on the steak and peppers meal above. I just used spicier peppers and added some mushrooms. Yum!

















Chorizo and a variety of peppers on rice. Spicy, but awesome!

Pan-seared tuna, asparagus, shrimp, and a green pepper stuffed with cheesy garlic rice. Again, courtesy of L. AMAZZZZZZING.
