LOVE to cook, LOVE to bake. My toaster oven is a Godsend during the summer because it doesn't heat up the kitchen; ditto the slow cooker. I own way too many cookbooks. I still haven't quite got the hang of using my indoor contact grill. I'll cook anything once! I like ethnic cuisine for its bold flavors and I'm always learning new seafood recipes. But I like "comfort baking," especially small-batch, so I don't consume TOO many calories. My husband fixes breakfast! I like to fix a meal and serve it outside -- any excuse for a picnic. And we're both learning black-pot cookery over a campfire. I truly enjoy baking cookies and shipping them to our troops overseas. I married a man who will eat almost anything and likes leftovers. Pie crust. Don't ask.
