I love cooking hey hey hey hey

Really?  People question my ability to cook.  I remember when Darren and I were dating.  I would cook and he would come over to my apartment and be shocked every time we ate.  He was suprised I could cook.  Darren + being single = take out every single meal.  I die laughing everytime he makes the comment, "I can't believe you cook so good even though you were single for so long."  UGH what is that supposed to mean? 
I love, love, love to cook. 
I asked my mom for a recipe on facebook the other day and her good friend made the comment to her that she didn't know I was into that sort of thing...hahaha.  I am quite domesticated.  I can understand how some could have the misconception that I am not at all, but in reality I am pretty good at the whole barefoot and pregnant thing.  My fun, single, traveling days are over and now I spend hours slaving in the kitchen.  Ok not really!  From Miley Cyrus to The Fray-someone is always singing to me while I cook and I am usually dancing around the kitchen.  Cooking is theraputic for me.  The kitchen is my space.  I am getting excited just thinking about what I will cook today.
I can make some chicken and dumplings that will make you want to slap yo mama!  I like cooking things that take lots of time and love.  Jalapeno cornbread is a favorite too.  I will spend a few hours cooking something just to see the smile on someone's face or an empty dish haha.
The holidays are here which means LOTS of cooking.
And thanks to my friend Jen, I have been trying out some Greek dishes.  I am currently into all things Greek.  So if you have any good recipes throw some my way or if you're in the neighborhood let me know and I will whip something up!
