I like to try cooking new and unusual-sounding things, and I usually make too much food for only two people to eat. Soups, stews and other crock-pot meals. My go-to quick and easy dinner is either alfredo sauce or fried rice. I like good old American comfort foods as well as many ethnic cuisines, such as Indian, Thai, and Middle Eastern. I also enjoy baking (and eating) sweet things, but my kitchen is small and poorly-equipped for complicated desserts. Using whole, fresh ingredients. Going overboard on dessert. Tandoori game hens (in the regular oven), vegetable tempura, egg rolls, cream puffs, rice pudding, ratatouille. A terrible Carbonara, some flavorless donuts (bad recipe!), crockpot roast chicken, potato & cheese pierogies, and whatever I was making when the cumin seeds ended up on the ceiling.
