I love to bake! It's a very enjoyable and relaxing hobby to get into the kitchen and produce something fresh out of the oven. Breads, cookies, pies, cakes, it's all a lot of fun. I'm not so good at savory cooking, but I'm learning as I go. I like a lot of flavor in my cooking, plenty of spice and garlic for the savory, and not too much sugar in the sweet.

Banana Waffles
Tasty--we did mash the bananas in. Also swapped in 1/4 cup whole wheat flour to add a little extra flavor. For us it made 5 round waffles. Next time may add a bit of salt.

Amazing Whole Wheat Pizza Crust
Lovely pizza crust if you like a bready crust. We make this every week for our family "pizza night". I dump the ingredients into my bread machine on the "Dough" setting. We avoid white sugar so usually use 100% maple syrup in place of the sugar, and it works beautifully. Sometimes I'll add garlic powder/basil/oregano or a bit of parmesan to the crust for extra flavor.

Pleasing Potato Pie
What a nice recipe--like a quiche with a hash brown crust. I used shredded new potatoes (skin on), and baked in a 9.5" glass pie pan, which worked well. This recipe is a good base to modify based on your flavor preferences--next time I will add green onion, more spices, and possibly a stronger cheese like gruyere.
