I am a 34 yr old happily married woman, with a 2 year old baby boy I am a grad. student working on my dietetic internship and master's degree in nutrition. Which is funny because I love to bake and I use real butter and sugar. Hey everything in moderation!! :) I love baking desserts. Cookies cheesecakes, pies, cakes you name it. Every year my sister-in-laws not just request but demand my snickerdoodles every holiday. Each year I comply and I keep adding new cookies to their list My first attempt at making a Raspberry Amaretto Cheesecake from my own recipe was a complete success. I was making chicken vegetable soup from scratch using a whole chicken. I was using a stainless steel pan for the first time. It was almost done and I stepped away for only a few minutes and it burned on the bottom, perfumed the entire soup with a burnt icky taste.
