Here are a few bits of advice that I've aquired from more experienced 'chefs', as well as my personal thoughts on each one.
"You can make anything taste good with enough butter." - My mom
This can function as a hint or a challenge. If you want a tasty meal, but you're not worried about healthiness, find a recipe with 3 sticks of butter or 2 cups of heavy whipping cream and chances are it'll taste pretty good. On the other hand, don't forget that healthy food can taste good too!
"Some people get caught up in complicated recipes and whether or not they have the exact ingredients called for. Then they get upset and never want to cook." - Paraphrased (& translated) from my Spanish host mom
So true. It's best to just find a few recipes that are good, but simple. Also, recipes that call for basic ingredients are excellent: things you typically have on hand and that you can easily substitute if need be.
