If there's one thing my family and friends know about me, it's that I love to cook. I have no formal training. I'm not an expert by any stretch of the imagination. But I absolutely LOVE food. A delicious dish brings me excitement and joy! (In fact, I don't trust people who don't get excited about food, and I really hate picky eaters. ) I'm almost always willing to try something once, including new recipes. As a result, I don't think my husband eats the same meal twice in a month's time. However, I'm starting to build a collection of favorite recipes. They're usually simple and made with affordable ingredients. And many times they involve a technique that can be used with a variety of ingredients so you can make the dish different every time if you like.
My husband always says my best dishes are the ones that I make up on the fly, either out of necessity or boredom. But what fun is a family recipe if you don't share it, right? (people with so-called secret recipes are just narcissists)
So here I go - jumping on the blog bandwagon with my very own cooking blog. Greetings and love from the kitchen of Laura Phelps, better known as "Chez Phelps."
Stay tuned for recipes.

My daughter says I can only cook 5 good things. Do you have any advise for the limited cook? I can't wait to get some easy receipes that I can try out. My husband (Rob) does not like potatoes, until he tried your roasted potatoes. Thanks for introducing him to other ways to eat potatoes, besides french fries.
