In 2012, I graduated with my Master's degree, ran an half marathon and got married. Kind of a big year! This year, my goal is to learn le art of cooking! In January, I did pretty well following quick, fairly basic recipes. Granted, nothing came out perfect, but we didn't starve, or lose any weight for that matter. But I'm already jonesin' for some more complicated stuff. I think I've discovered that all these quick recipes which have your oven on 425 for just 30 minutes might not actually be doing justice to the food I'm cooking. Yea, dinner comes out edible, but there's got to be something more! I received the Colorado Cache cookbook for my bridal shower and I want to get into it, but it's incredibly intimidating. I might not be ready for that level yet. My goal* this month is even more meal planning and slower cooking. (Yikes!) I feel like there's a smart way and a dumb way to do this, though. I'm still not skilled enough to know which corners to cut, and where to never skimp. So, if you have any tips or tricks, leave a comment! I'll start featuring awesome, helpful comments!
*This goal may be modified weekly or even daily.
To help me out, I searched for some things cooks should know. I am pretty sure I literally typed in "things cooks should know." Here are two (out of 575,000,000 results).

Also, I had a week off from real cooking because my husband was out of town and I've had that cold that's been going around so cooking wasn't very important to me. I did other domestic things like cleaning and laundry, though, so don't think I'm slacking!
