My first day back in the kitchen actually cooking after over a year didn't go too badly. I picked a recipe that I've used a bunch of times. It still felt like I was re-learning how to cook.
I used my favorite recipe for: Salisbury Steak w/ Rice.
I did change a few things:
I couldn't remember how to separate an egg so I just used the whole thing.
I eyeballed some dried minced onion because I only had giant onions.
I used Walmart brand club crackers.
I substituted Adobo for salt
I used a can of great value beef gravy because it was cheaper.
I used a jar of mushrooms because I had it in my pantry.
I added some creole seasoning to the gravy because it was kind of bland.
For veggies I had open packs of peas and corn in the freezer. I just mixed them together to get rid of them.
I even did some baking- Blueberry Muffins. It was a mix but I'm on baby step level right now. I had forgotten how amazing baking smells.
