I love it. Being a single feller and raising my kids (without female assistance) for the last 8 years has really helped to push me into the culinary realm. I grew tired of fastfood and pizza and KFC and damn sure didn't like what it was doing to my weight and my kids general health. So I started cooking. I don't mean the mac n cheese in the blue box with the yellow powder or frozen corn dogs and Red barons pizza. I mean really cooking, like with raw meat, fresh ingredients and an open flame, gas burner and steel pot, cast iron skillets or even the oven. I grew up with my Grandad and my dad cooking a lot so it wasn't a completely foreign venture. I always enjoyed watching Justin Wilson and Paula Dean cook the stuff I grew up on so I used them and their recipes as a baseline. I keep an eye out for other ideas, and will freely steal them and run with it! If you have any links or youtube channels you like then list them below. This may be the one hobby I have that is worthwhile and actually useful.
I like some of the stuff that the BBQ Pit boys cook on youtube along with a guy called Cowboy Kent Rollins. The BBQ pit boys have a cast iron skillet recipe for potatoes that is really good and Kent Rollins has a pork and beans recipe (whole pork shoulder and beans) that is outstanding. The Chicken bog Paula Dean has is also easy and good eating.
