I love a challenge, but my favorites are baked goods. I love baking my own bread, making cookies, bagels, soft pretzels, fudge, all the family favorites. When I bake bread the traditional way, I give a bit of dough to each of my small children so they can kneed and form their own loaves. The result is great family time and memories as well as teaching them that people used to have to do it themselves instead of buying from the grocery store. Not really cooking, but I learned to flavor butters for the holidays. I make a garlic-herb one that is a huge family hit. The other is the Liver Pate' recipe that my mom passed down from my step-grandmother. I get requests for this one all the time!! You know those miracle bars that you make from the back of Eagle Sweetened Condensed Milk? Mine still taste delicious, but look like glue. If any has any ideas, please let me know :)
