My husband and I love to cook, bake and eat. We like trying new recipes that liven up our meals. We're both finding out what we like and don't like to make. I'm a PSU graduate and miss going to tailgate's (always good food there)! I like baking cakes, cookies or anything with chocolate in it! I've tried a few icing recipes from scratch and they've turned out great! I like to cook chicken, pasta, chili (from scratch), barbequed pulled pork and enjoy using my crock pot. My grandma has all her recipes memorized and has passed most of them down to my mother, who also has them memorized. I need to learn these recipes, such as, a gob cake and icing, potato soup with dough balls in it and how to make my gram's tomato sauce. As I stated in my favorite things to cook, barbequed pulled pork and chili. This was amazing! I got the recipe from a co-worker and will never try another. I love to bake and for my wedding baked over 800 cookies for a "cookie bar" which served as the hors d'oeuvres (my gram and mom made about 1,000 combined). I found some great cookie recipes doing this! I've never had a tragedy that I can remember. However, when I bake pumpkin bread and a pumpkin bar with icing recipe, the center seems to become gooey while cooling. I think I need to bake it longer, even though a toothpick inserted comes out clean before I take it out of the oven. I’ll figure this out eventually. It’s still good though!
