To me making meals out of ingredients, not packages, is a way to show my love to my family and myself. I doubt that more than one meal a month is eaten out of our home and everything is made fresh from REAL food. I love making breads, pizzas, and anything new. Angel food cake... whipped by hand! I'm most proud of a resent dinner I cooked for my extended family. It was a completely vegan dinner of lasagna, salads, a rice dish and desserts. I feed it to my large family with their rather limited food palates and almost everyone asked for seconds. I was amazed! Sugar cookies as at 12 years old... still don't know what happened but they came out tasting like almond flavored oven cleaner.
