Teach Emma to Cook

Anyone who knows me well knows that I'm not exactly the greatest cook around. I get by, and the stuff I can cook is good. But I'm constantly wanting to improve. I had an idea. How bout making a blog with different people's favorite meal recipes. So now I need recipes. Just simple meals that aren't expensive or complex to make, and that don't contain obscure ingredients that couldn't be purchased from your regular grocery store in any country.

I made this tonite. It was really nice. I just thought it needed a little more flavouring. I didn't put the sausage in. The equivalent to one of them here is a Chorizo. I'll try it next time. Nicole didn't like the 'green and red things' aka the capsicum and celery. But ate everything else!

The recipe should have okra, but it is mostly a Cajun goolash.
