Di,
Don't feel bad. I'm not a good cook either. Spaghetti sauce is my best effort. I cook. But out of necessity. I buy those frozen Pot Roast prepared packages from the Federal Meat Market. They're just enough for 2 people, in fact I get a couple of meals out 'em. The gravy is right there and so I just mash up some potatoes; and, it makes a great meal. Good luck. Anne's recipes sound devine!
