With a new house came a new focus on getting back on track with cooking meals. We got into a slew of take out dinners only because our kids' activities are right at dinner time. We are a family of routine and our routine family dinners were always at 6:00pm sharp. Then came the activities and right during dinner.
I have always loved to cook, but cooking the same old, same old really did get old. My family has their favorites, but I got tired of making them all the time. Now I can incorporate the tried and true with new recipes. My family is all for me cooking, they love it actually. I'm the only one going thru take out withdrawal.
I love to eat, but when I cook, I never try my cooking during the making process. I only try the new recipe when it comes down to sitting down and eating it. I've only had one or two bad recipes and I know to stay away from those. Now I'm in a whole new mode of trying new recipes. My kids have to eat whatever I make because I am not their personal cook(tho I really am).
New house, new cooking with gas, new atmosphere, maybe that is what inspired me. Ok, besides the fact that grocery stores and restaurants are a little further than what we were used to. But that's all ok, I'd take this new everything over the same old, same old anyday!

Cook away, Kim! My family also loves it when I cook, though I'm no Julia Child! The routine and tradition of dinner together far outweighs to "fanciness" of the meal. Mac and Cheese anyone?
