I love to cook and bake. I didn't really start to cook at all until I was married- almost 5 years ago. Sometime around the time I was pregnant with my first child, I really started to experiment and enjoy cooking. My husband teases that when we got married it was either grilled cheese sandwiches or Hamburger Helper and therefore my cooking is NOT why he married me- like some people think. We usually go to our friend's house about once a week and they enjoy being my guinea pigs on my new recipes that I try. Every now and then I like to take shortcuts, ie. refrigerated biscuits or crescent rolls, etc. However, I'd much rather do things from scratch. (Especially pie crusts and breads, etc.) Maybe it's pride, but it does taste better!
