I love to bake and I really enjoy good food, so that is why I cook. I find that I don't always have enough time to cook with a 2 year old. :) Oh, and I just can't seem to follow a recipe to the letter, I have to make some changes. Golden mushroom chicken, cashew salad. Anything quick and tasty. My family bakes. Whenever we are together you can bet on a minimum of 5 kinds of cookies and bars. Mastering the art of baking wonderful homemade bread. Forgot the sugar in a loaf of orange cranberry bread. Yuck! (Luckily I tasted it before I served it to anyone.)
