After 2 weeks of waiting to open all of our wedding presents, I am super excited that we now have things to cook in!

Before, all we had was one tiny little 5-inch skillet and a little soup pot that was about the same size. Needless to say, browning 2 pounds of hamburger for our hamburger helper last week was a bit of a challenge. I had to divide it up into the tiny, mix-matched pans that we had, which made me feel like..well, pathetic, like something from an I Love Lucy episode or something, and it made a lot more dishes to do afterwards.

Not fun. Ugh.

But, now we are the proud owners of a brand new, non-stick, entire set of pots and pans. Woot!

I have to say that I feel a mix of feelings. I am excited to cook, for sure, but at the same time, I feel a lot more pressure to cook…well.

Don’t get me wrong, I like to cook, really. And I’m excited to use all our new little kitchen gadgets. The hard part is that before I had an excuse if something didn’t turn out quite right. And now? Well, let’s just say I’m feeling the pressure.

I mean, I know the hubby will probably say he likes whatever I make, but still. I think I’ll be able to tell which things he like better. And really, I have my work cut out for me to beat the 4 cheese hamburger helper lasagna. We love that stuff!
