I love to try new recipes and turn them into my own with changes. I also like to try new fare at a restaurant and try to duplicate it at home based on taste. Bread, soups, appetizers & desserts. Christmas Dessert Night. We invite friends and family to Dessert After Christmas dinner. I always include some tried and true items along with brand new entries. I ask guests to rate the new recipes. Another favorite is delivering "Severed Finger" butter cookies as a psychotic baker during Halloween. I finally entered the Pillsbury Bake-off in 2007. I didn't place in the Pillsbury Bake-off. :( I'll try again in 2009.
