It's Worse Than I Thought

I've never been a cook, chef, kitchen wonderment.  I seem to be able to bake just fine though, which is odd.  I've created my own cheesecake recipes and a bangin' crust that people seem to love.  But trying to actually cook a meal is not my strong suit.

I get bored, sidetracked, annoyed.  I'm not sure if it's because I really don't have a grasp on the basics or because I just truly have no interest in cooking.  My husband is a magnificent cook so I've never really had to worry about it.

Anyway I've been trying to navigate the kitchen in order to clean up this family.  Sure Steve can continue with the cooking but that would mean his style which is not clean, nor good for his diet.

It really dawned on me today when I tried to bake kale chips, that I saw on one of my favorite blogs- little monster, at how much trouble I am in.  How hard can that be??? Well for this moron it was apparently super difficult.

The ones that weren't over-salted were burnt.  HA!  Seriously I need a FREE lesson on the basics of cooking.  I applaud all others who are such amazing cooks even if that means cooking kale chips at a reasonable degree without numbing the tongue from an overdose of salt.

HELP!
