I enjoy trying new recipes and perfecting them. I don't have the patience for crazy complicated recipes so I gravitate to easy & moderate pull together meals. But I do love when people "think" I've been slaving way in the kitchen. Baking would be my specialty but I also enjoy making appetizers, salads and sides. I hate preparing meat. Luckily that's my husband's specialty. My family has always preferred making things from scratch. I finally mastered chicken soup that tastes just like Mom's. I can't think of any main tragic baking/cooking moments but I've made my fair share of mistakes and “not so good” attempts. I’m probably my hardest critic.
