I've been cooking since around age 10. My mother says I have been blessed with her mother's sense of "flavor." Stir Fry, pastas, grilling, some gormet on occasion. Make more than enough! Don't ruin an old recipe with "fat free." Hot things should be served hot! I have created several of my own recipes, one in particular my nephew has decided is his favorite meal of all time! (Chicken Pockets) I usually am successful when trying new things or adding to/changing recipes. I can not bake from scratch. I absolutely have no talent making doughs, breads or crusts.
