I'm single, and cooking for one got old a long time ago; however, I love to cook for my family and friends... Cheesecake, cakes, cookies, candies. I have made wedding cakes for friends. (They're a lot of work, but worth it for friends...) When I go to a potluck I like to fill in whatever is needed, so I can use one of my tried and true recipes, or try something altogether new. I have more recipes than I will probably ever be able to use... Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners are filled with family traditions- Mom's family meat dressing- the best! Cranberry-orange relish, and for a week following, the turkey, dressing, and relish sandwiches! And the whole family clamors for Peanut Butter BonBons at Christmastime... Cheesecakes- Praline Pecan, Peppermint Stick w/Fudge Ripple, and Irish Cream, to name a few of my family's favorites. I won a healthy cooking contest with my Chicken Stir Fry. I particularly like my Tortellini Salad... "Mint Chocolate Anise Fudge" No really, I was just finishing a batch of "Mint Chocolate Fudge", and had just removed it from the heat to add the vanilla. I was pouring the extract from the spoon into the fudge mixture, when I got a whiff of "licorice". (Ugh!) I realized that I had picked up anise extract at the store rather than vanilla. (I don't even use anise extract!) My roommate suggested that I bring the fudge to work anyway, so I did. Well, of all the things I had brought to work over the years, that was the only thing that wasn't scoffed up! (It has made a great story, however!)
