I was quite the baker when I was younger. Every weekend, I would bake cakes, cookies and pies that my family would enjoy throughout the week. After I moved out of the house, my Dad asked my Mom why she never baked anymore. My Mom looked at him as if he grew two heads. “Dave, I never baked, that was Mary.” Now, I cook for a teenager and it’s not easy. She is ALWAYS hungry and I feel really bad for anyone who has more than one teenager in their house. My biggest dilemma is looking for snack type foods that are healthy. I like to make '70s type cooking food, although, I do make a few additional meals, like fettucine alfredo, tex-mex, that my Mom didn't make. My family lives in WI and I live in FL. Whenever we visit each other, we make a nice big tupperware dish full of Tuna Fish salad (with the seashells, peas, scallions) and serve with Kaiser rolls. All you have to do is grab a plate and fork after a long flight and catch up with the family gossip! My chili should be award winning! I should enter a contest. Unfortunately, since I've moved to FL, I am not as great of baker as I use to be. I keep telling myself it's my oven, but I think part of me finds that I am more distracted and I don't concentrate on the measuring part as I use to.
