Now that I am retired, I have more time to explore hobbies such as quilting and gardening. I am interested in becoming a better cook by trying out new recipes and trying to make healthier meals. I like to bake pies - lemon meringue is my alltime favorite, but I also like pecan pie and French apple pie. I recently made Apple Brown Betty - it is easy and delicious, especially made with tart Northern Spy apples. I also enjoy cooking holiday dinners - usually turkey with stuffing.
