I love to cook and try new recipes,but I am health conscience and therefore tend to stay away from fried foods or those with a high fat content, unless of course it is healthy fats . VEgetable dishes, anything with fish. Unfortunately I also love to bake. My grandmother was famous for her pies and breads. In fact I have several recipe boxes that I have yet to go through, with thoughts of maybe putting together a cookbook, but its just a thought. Thanksgiving dinner 2008,for 12 people, even the gravy came out ok. Wanted to make squash soup but cheated and used the prepared boxed one. my cooking tragedy seems to be gravy, I never seem to have enough drippings in the roasting pan.
