Women Who Cook


My guy friends tell me they are sick of dating women who don't cook. If they do cook, they only make things like hamburger helper and spaghetti. Well guys I apologize on behalf of the women (like myself) who actually do get in the kitchen and burn (not literally). I've been cooking as long as I've been writing (since I was 8 years old). My maternal grandmother baked cakes and pies better than Betty Crocker. She turned her baking into a hustle and was able to be generous to her children and grandchildren.

I don't understand women who don't cook or claim they can't. Cooking is all about creativity and imagination. The first thing I learned to cook was spaghetti, but I moved on from that to make lasagna, grilled and fried fish, omelets, seasoned steak and more. I don't play when it comes to food. Despite my small frame, I can put away some grub.

Cooking is a great stress reliever, and it's good to see people you love enjoying your cuisine. Besides that, I am an excellent hostess and I enjoy entertaining. I keep Bon Appetit and Martha's Everyday Food close by. It's fine to be beautiful but when you're beautiful and can cook, you might just make someone fall in love.
