New Goal!

So one of the things I have been wanting to do forever is learn to cook, bake and basically make better food! So here is my attempt. I am going to post at least once a week with the recipes I am going to attempt. A few ideas I am going to start with: monthly birthday cake for the birthday celebration dinner our family has. I am currently on the HCG diet, so one night a week I am going to post/try a new HCG recipe. I know it sounds crazy to cook new recipes I can't even try but since I can't eat it, the next best thing for me... cook it for everyone else to enjoy! I miss cooking! I am currently living with my parents for one more month while our house gets finished. I cook 2-3 nights a week and try new recipes all the time. Sometimes they are very simple, afterall I do have a two year old (almost). Here is my first recipe that I cooked for dinner last week. This recipe came from my parent's ward cookbook. It was a big hit:

Chicken in Lemon Cream Sauce:
1 Lb. Sliced Mushrooms
6 Chicken Breast
1 Medium Chopped Onion
4 Tbsp. butter
1 C. Cream
Juice from one lemon
Frozen Peas ( I did not use these)
Rice
Parsley

Saute onions and mushrooms in 1-2 tablespoons butter. Remove from pan, set aside. Put chicken in pan. Add 2-3 tablespoons butter and brown chicken. Pour cream and lemon juice on cooked chicken. Simmer. Add mushrooms, onions, and peas (optional). Simmer till warmed all through. Serve over rice. I added parsley to the rice in the rice cooker. You also can use chicken broth instead of water for the rice.

Everyone else said it was really good, although I didn't try it:)
