Don’t be afraid to experiment. It’s okay to substitute ingredients when you don’t have certain ones or you have certain preferences.

If you’ve made it a goal to cook at home more often, but fall off the wagon and find yourself in the fast food line up once again, don’t be discouraged. You can start again tomorrow.

One cannot think well, love well, sleep well, if one has not dined well. ~ Virginia Woolf

Don't get worked out if no one complimented the meal. Often, the best compliment one can expect are just empty plates.

Remember to thank the host for the meal when you attend any dinner invitation.
