breaking in the kitchen

pizza with pesto, mozzarella cheese, garlic, prosciutto, caramelized onions and mushrooms and goat cheese

ever since i moved out of university residence last year, i've been dreading the thought of preparing my own meals every day. before this year, i can truly say that i didn't even know how to make the college student's go-to quick meal, kraft dinner. if you told my parents that i would be cooking their dinner, their reactions would be on par with this:

however, i've recently become more inspired in the kitchen and that's mostly due to my sister, roommates and friends (who are all great cooks and very experimental in the kitchen) and a newfound obsession with cooking shows (i don't understand 99.9% of the ingredients or techniques, but the outcome always looks amazing).

i posted two pictures at the top of recent meals i've made. i now realize that i use garlic, caramelized onions and mushrooms in most of my meals.....
