I love to cook and i've been cooking for about 2 years. When i became a vegetarian i started making dinners for the family that were meatless. they liked it most of the time but i still haven't convinced them to change. desserts, muffins, SWEETS! I also like making brunches with hash browns, pancakes, all the good stuff. hhmm....let me think...i'm not sure if we have any cooking traditions besides making christmas cookies to give out each year. it's lots of fun getting to make 5 different types of cookies all in one day. yummy!! the smell of fresh baked cookies is unbelieveable. When i made the chewiest peanut butter cookies ever. good and yummy. they were really easy but oh so good. i found them at this website but don't remember what they were called. when i made cupcakes for more brother and the turned out puffy and crisp. i was very sad. something happend and they looked like volcanoes that exploded and they didn't have much flavor either. in about 10 minutes they went into the trash.
