I agree Mrs Jones ... When the kids come to visit I love to cook for them ,but with just the two of us home sometimes it just is a chore . I depends on my mood too. Now that we have had some cooler weather I am much more in the mood to cook .
This weekend one of the boys is here and I have cooked some delicious Banana bread and we made french toast out of it this morning . Right now I am making shepard pie and Beer Batter bread with cheese and Italian seasoning .
Love/Hate relationship. I hit streaks where I cook like crazy. Other times I could not get motivated.
I am a good cook though - sometimes thinking I missed my calling and should have gone to cullinary school. I missed a lot of things..... well you know that story.
I have been perfecting a rather tasty chicken curry this past week. Lots of fresh onion, curry and fresh garlic with tomatoes. I am on salt restricted - hence I prefer lots of other spices and lots of onion. Something is missing in the chicken - don't know what spice to add. I'm in a cooking mood this week.

Rosemary? Sage?

This past year I've done more cooking than I have in decades. I am enjoying it but a big part of keeping it enjoyable for me is that I do not *have* to do it. There is no set schedule. And if I don't want to, I don't have to.
I'm really liking fresh herbs, vegetables, lemons, limes, ginger. I did not grow up with this sort of freshness and sooo love it!

Hey V665:
Today, I made some collards with beef broth, garlic, and olive oil.
This recipe of Syl's is almost identical to mine, but I add a dash of garlic wine vinegar.
Since getting out of the JW-rush mode, I make myself cook for solo moi regardless.
But I do love to cook!
Thanks.
Bon appetit!

Love love love to cook. You have to like it to have a flair for it.
Love to cook, and bake... especially in the fall.

Love to cook and bbq.... love it even more when the end result tastes like what its suppose to taste like.
Just recently I made lasagna, pizza and several other dishes from scratch....
I like to eat. I like to try new foods. I like to cook. I'm a good enough cook that some of my dishes are better than what you get in some restaurants and a heckuva lot cheaper to cook at home. I hate going out to eat and feeling like I could have cooked it just as well at home.

Black pepper/Thyme/sage/oregano/garlic/onion..
Those are the basics..
There can be others like Sylvia`s suggestion of rosemary..
But it depends on the dish..
