Forgot how to COOK?

Before surgury I was a great cook. All my friends loved to eat my cooking....My oh My how things have changed. Last night I burnt everything I cooked. Anybody else? Shawna

Actually...my husband does the cooking pretty much since he had his WLS last year. Before that...he honestly couldn't stand for long. Now he can cook for long periods of time happily. And I let him... I just threw a bunch of ingredients in the crockpot and gonna let it chug all afternoon til dinner time. Kind of a reduced carb jambalaya (no rice) - got hot italian sausage, chicken, smoked kielbasa, tomatoes w/ chiles, garlic, onion, pepper, celery, jalapenos (my hands are burning right now) and hot sauce. Later I'll throw in some shrimp. Kathy

Great minds think alike. I'm doin' the crockpot thing too... Chicken, fresh green beans, onion, carrots and a couple of potatoes. I love crockpots. You can make an awesome meal and still be lazy...

Oh yea...love da crock! Love to make chili, pot roast, swiss steak, etc... Yumm! I'm alternating my lazing with doing chores. I think the lazing is winning. Kathy

I dont think I forgot how but I sure have lost the desire to cook. Since I can only eat such small portions it just seems like a waste especially since the pouch does not seem to be thrilled with leftovers for some reason. I find myself buying food all the time, my daughter friend commented on how full the fridge was but problem is I dont really want to eat any of it, what a concept! Cary

I hate left-overs too! And its is such a struggle cuz we were taught never to waste food!

I was a great cook before surgery, my hubby says it is even better now. I am expermenting with different seasonings and such so hubby and the kids are loving it..
