Chef Mommy

So ever since we have recently moved to Idaho falls, i have made the decision that i wanted to start cooking, I have always known the basics on how to cook but have made the decision not to for a long time for various reasons.... well a couple being that my husband is an excellent cook, so i left it up to him there for awhile, and that i really didn't have the patience or confidence to to do it, partially because i' am surrounded  by amazing cooks in my family and Will's family, and i didn't think i could ever compare. Well i decided to put my big girl pants on and start cooking because.... Will has been on overload with his job and school and i figured i would relieve him in the cooking department, i have also been going to school online since September, to become a certified Medical Transcriptionist in May (hopefully) so i can be a Work at Home Mommy, a WAHM! lol..so i want to do everything i can to de-stress him! and also one of the most important reasons ever!!! i wanted to ensure that  Landon is eating good and receiving all the nutrition he can possibly get from home cooked meals, and not the Burger king and Mcdonald diet, since we live right across the street from those places! blah!!..So chef mommy has been a very busy bee and cooking every night..so here are some of the meals i have been cooking!, and also a delicious desert that i made too!



                                                           Homemade Pizza rolls!
                                

This is actually one of the most easiest most delicious appetizers i have ever made! the recipe came from an email i recieved in the my ward email group!..so good!..dip them in ranch or marinara and u cant stop eating them!

Oreo Truffle Balls

These are so good, and sooo easy to make as well! I made this plate two days ago and between Landon, Will and I, they are almost all gone!

Monterey Chicken

This meal is fully loaded! hence that the entire chicken is covered by yummy goodness!..This is actually one of my post popular meals that i have made! and is highly requested by my hubby! I have also made this for a family get together and had nothing but good comments made about it! this meal was inspired by Chilli's Monterey chicken with my own spin on it!

Baked Ziti

You may have seen this on my other blog post "cooking", but i added it here because this is another family favorite meal. It is an Italian inspired dish, and Landon loves it! i think it's the spaghetti sauce that he is addicted to! lol this one is a little more time consuming but totally worth it! i usually make it in a large dish and it last our family another 2-3 meals!

Thanks for reading! i hope it gives you cooking mama's ideas if u haven't heard or tried any of these fine meals!..I also made a bomb chicken salad yesterday that Will, and i couldn't get enough of! i would of posted a pic, but with all the mixed ingredients it looked like a hott mess! lol, but with dried cranberries and pecans it was amazing, and we just slapped it on a hamburger bun and Volah!!..I also have plans this upcoming week to make Parmesan Meatloaf, and 7 layer dip! i will let all you know how it goes!
