My 1 week challenge

I have shared once before that cooking has not always been my "Forte" but as I age gracefully that is ; ). I realized I put a wall up between me and the kitchen. Since I have created my OWN way of semi following recipes, and spicing it up with the use of my taste buds... I'd have to say that the kitchen and I are now BFF'S.

The Real Simple magazine comes to my home on a monthly basis, so I decided to rip out all the drooling worthy recipes and create a file system for me to come back to...{OCD much}?

Then came the challenge....I'm using a new recipe everyday this week from Real Simple and stunning myself with the results [as of Monday]. Here are some things I made with my darling friend.
Creamy broccoli soup.
Chicken, pesto, and fried egg pizza.
Side note: Don't eat this if your on a diet.
Disclaimer: I ate 1 slice.
Gluten free cookies.
Wednesday night menu: Chicken teriyaki {I left the chicken in the fridge since last night in a zip lock bag to soak in as much sauce} with pineapple slices and brown rice. Wish me luck!
