Homemade meals

so lately i've been really into cooking and once a week i'll make myself and john a meal. i've been doing this for a month ish maybe longer. a few weeks ago i made chicken enchiladas, i got the recipe from the food network, but i spiced it up and made it my own! last week i made stew from an online recipe and unfortunately i didn't buy enough veggies and was kinda going off of what i already had so i didn't have to spend too much but i'm stoked to make it again to add more veggies. i like making stew and soup because i put half of it in a tupperware and in the freezer. yesterday i made fried rice. i started cooking the rice and i had frozen broccoli so i just put it in the microwave then cooked up a scrambled egg and once that was cooked i added left over bell peppers and added the broccoli and rice when they were both done and added soy sauce. i was pretty impressed! i also added crushed red peppers to give it a little kick and it was great! i usually add crushed red pepper to a lot of things because i love that kick that it gives. i'm starting to really like cooking. luckily i have a radio in my kitchen so i can listen to music while i'm cooking, its nice! i'll post pics of other meals that i make!
