I have been collecting recipes since I was a young girl. Everytime I came across something someone made that I enjoyed I would ask for the recipe. I have a nice collection of hand-me-down tried and true recipes. A roasted chicken with gravy and mashed potatoes. It comes out great everytime! Chicken pot pie, cookies, meatballs and sauce, homemade pizza. Not sure if they are my favorite to cook or favorite to eat. Stuffing for a holiday turkey. You just can't top homemade stuffing. A turkey. I was always intimidated to cook a turkey and I am not sure why. I didn't bake my first turkey until a few years ago and to my surprise it came out wonderful. Made turkey soup with the leftovers and again surprised myself because it was delicious. creme brulee. I had followed a recipe in a cook book but the cook book forget to note that it had to be baked in the oven. The recipe started out by cooking it partially on a stove top which I thought was all it needed. served it for a birthday dinner and it was soup.
