I love to cook for a crowd--brunches, football parties, birthday parties, you name it. I love to bake (cheesecakes are a specialty); I love chicken recipes, soup recipes, and low carb recipes. Every year we celebrate my mother in law's birthday at our house with a huge brunch, and my husband and I do all the cooking. It's great fun! Discovering the beauty of the water bath for baking cheesecake. What a difference it has made! Smoked broccoli--that is, steaming broccoli and forgetting to add the water to the steamer!
