I was cooking those packaged ramen noodles when I was 10 years old.
You could start there...
I think learning knife skills is most important when it comes to preparing a cooked meal.
...Would you rather...risk getting burned or risk cutting yourself?
You can also view knife skills videos on YouTube.

I was fortunate to have participated in 4H and Home Ec classes in school that taught me the basics of cooking.
I still have the work/cook books from 4H classes I took 40 years ago.

You can learn to cook at any stage in life. My friend only recently learned how, because she had a mother who was always in the kitchen cooking and had lots of rules of kitchen cleanliness. Really, you just have to push mom out and learn by doing. You can watch cooking programs and read recipes, but until you try it for yourself, it's all just theoretical.

I enjoy baking more then I do cooking. Though I make a mean semi-homemade mac and cheese.

My "signature" dish, lately, seems to be homemade beef stew.
Everybody including the granddaughter loves it and there is rarely any leftovers.

I eat plain Minute white rice with sweetener. *noddeth* Momma cooketh up a big pot of that on the stove and I eat off of it for maybe two weeks.

I found my cookbook from middle school cooking class, but it doth not have the recipe I really looked forward to in it. *frowneth* Brown sugar cookies. They were so delicious.

@hummy - Job was ok today. Feels like we just got a lot of bad calls thrown at us in the beginning. Normal ones are pretty easy. As long as people are civil, it's not hard. It's when people are demanding jerks that life is hard.

I can pretty much replicate, or even outdo, some of Cookie mom's and Cookie grandma's recipes. A lot of them are just guidelines anyway. Cookie mom actually comes to me for a lot of my recipes. I like making sweets, but I like cooking delicious meals too. One of my favorites is chicken and dumplings. Om nom nom.

Yeah, I make small flat dumplings. The last time I made them in balls, they didn't cook. They cook quicker when they're small and flat, so that's how I like to do them. And I like the chicken to be shredded too :D Shredded chicken holds the sauce/gravy/broth better.

I don't like those little chicken shreds. They feel gross in the mouth.

The chicken and dumplings I eat are legit just chicken shreds and dumplings in a thick broth.

I make the dumplings that are like bread, or biscuits, (preferably made with Bisquick) that float on top of the broth.
I tried making the other kind once and they just melted into the broth.
I like to take the stewed chicken off the bones and cut it into bite sized pieces.
I haven't made chicken and dumplings in a very long time.

I also haven't made chicken with homemade noodles in a long time, either.

I used to eat a lot of rice with milk, brown sugar and cinnamon on it, kinda like a rice cereal, when I was a kid.
