As a married mother of one (who is currently five years old!), cooking for my family is not only fun (sometimes), but it's definitely necessary... I'm always trying to find a way to force vegetables on my somewhat picky daughter. Any ideas? I LOVE TO BAKE!! It's been my pleasure since I was a pre-teen, and I've been getting better... I hope. Baking cookies with my father when I was a child. He still lives near Edmonton (as does the rest of my side of the family), but I'm hoping that maybe one day my daughter can bake with him as I did when I was her age. Too bad for that international border and 18-hour drive to get there... Hmm. I make a pretty good pie crust. Anything baked is likely to turn out well... I think making homemade pierogies without any assistance except a copy of 'The Ukranian Daughter's Cookbook' from Alberta. Pierogies are hard to find in Idaho, so making them from scratch became sort of a necessity... But they turned out pretty darned good! Anything meat. I'm not a big meat-eater, but my husband is. And I seem to make him so sad in that department... Then again, he likes his meat rare, while I want it so cooked you can't tell it was once alive!
