Mom of 1 and 1 on the way Cookies and cakes! Soups and chowders, too. Cook it or throw it out- some of the best recipes are made on the fly (i.e. anything can be made into soup or a pot pie!) Homemade cake and chowder recipes. As my husband says, "You can make a cake to serve 200 people, but you screw up boxed mac and cheese?!"
