Cooking isn't my favorite. I pretty much dread having to make dinner. Thankfully my hubby is pretty helpful with dinners. We use this website - which has helped us A LOT with our cooking skills. The Fresh 20. A favorite meal: can't go wrong with the Chicken Parmesan from Olive Garden.

I was a mixture of both. I didn't mind getting dirty, but I did love girly things too.
