I cook plenty. My grandma had a pantry for a closet space once and that was pretty awesome imho, its a shame that its a dying trend. But really now, there's tons of stuff you can choose from in the pantry that easily make a dish period.
I find myself preferring the more staple dishes than outrageous creations of artistic/exciting new flavors (AVOID). I stick with the basics that I know and came to love for so much. And that is... potatoes, potatoes, potatoes. Its a czech staple for so long and everyone in my family is pretty much into potatoes.
But I can cook awesome breakfast dishes like I'm a chef already. Its pretty easy if you ask me. Dinner dishes definitely takes a lot of time to prepare and to cook simultaneously, too often its not worth the effort, unless you plan on leftovers. The ultimate homemade dinner dish for me is rolls, chicken, greens, potatoes, and another vegetable. I also love foreign dinner dishes, mexican, italian, american, and hmm... french? I also love sea food, its a shame that Jimmy doesn't as much. However, he loves chinese food, which I actually avoid. I wouldn't touch bait food either.
Lunch dishes just varies very often. I love grilled cheese sandwiches and my husband love italian subs that he whips up. And lately, I'm loving salads.
ANNDDD I can cook MEAN desserts that could make you cry. I'm not even fucking kidding. I can bake a 3 layer cake with icing in between and that would make my aunt all fucking envious. LMAO. I had made jello, pudding, fudge, brownies, caramel apples on a stick, cupcakes, muffins, biscuits, crescents, cinnamon french toast, cinnamon rolls, bundt, angel food, layer cakes, cookies (OMG TONS of cookies, in fact my cookies are often the highlights of our store's bake sale fundraisers), popsicles, even homemade ice cream once. I haven't made a
good pie though. Pies are delicious don't get me wrong! Its just the damn crust/icing that gives me trouble. I prefer cold pies anyway.
Crockpot/casserole dishes/outdoor grilling is still new to me though. I like the idea of casserole/crockpot dishes sometimes, but I'm a stickler for "side" dishes as just being as SIDES for the taste.

Grilling meats are indeed awesome, and I had loved bqing them.
But yeah, I got plenty of cook books here and usually I have plenty of time to cook, but too often Jimmy and I'd end up having take out or eating out. Problem is our work schedules just clash too often.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
