The Art of Cooking

   I used to hate cooking with my mom.  Being forced to cook used to be the worst thing to me.  Now is a completely different story.
     After years of never wanting to cook I one day just decided to make something.  I can't remember what it was, but I do remember I had a lot of fun making it.  So I kept cooking.  No recipes, just ideas straight out of my head.  I had some flops, lots of flops actually, and some really good turn outs.  Now I love to cook.
     I never understood why people think they can't cook.  Cooking is easy, it just takes patience and practice.  If  you can read and follow directions, you can cook.
     For those of you who have trouble with cooking, or those of you who love to cook, I'm going to leave a recipe for you.  Something simple and delicious!  And you'll never buy store bought Alfredo sauce again.
     I normally just eyeball this recipe, so these measurements are not exact.  Just trust your taste buds and you'll be fine.
     Enjoy! :-)
