My husband and I retired 5 years ago from the Navy. We have 3 kids still at home and our family hobby is cooking. Weekdays are busy around home, so I aim for 30 minutes or less meals with good ingredients. We reserve the weekends for more extravagant cooking.
I am a huge "concoctor" and definitely have to get better about writing the recipes of my concoctions down.
