I was a member of allrecipes for a while but somehow I lost my profile; had to rejoin - just now getting around to redoing it :) I have been married since 1971, 3 grown children and my Mom always made everything from scratch so I do also, 99.9% of the time lol homemade pizza, lemon meringue pie, chicken cacciatore, roasts, and my current pleasure is homemade soups. so many favorites to add, so I just mentioned a few. used to bake goodies all the time when the kids were little. breads, sweet rolls, candies, cookies, cakes, and pies. I do less of that now, since when we get older, we widen. lol would love to find a great recipe for Italian bread, very similar to how it's made near where I grew up near Philadelphia PA. I realize my electric oven will have to be the substitute for the proper ovens used to bake the crusty outside and soft, tender inside. alas homemade pizza, soups, sweet potato pie, shrimp egg rolls, etc etc etc oh my. we all have some recipe disasters we'll never forget! lol one of mine was a sweet potato, meatball ragout recipe I found in a magazine. It was so bad, my family and I couldn't eat it. The worst was when I put it out for the cats, they wouldn't touch it either! Other times come to mind - I chopped up fresh green beans from my garden for dinner, I salted them and hubby didn't know, but he salted them again - heart-attack unedible green beans! I made a lemon meringue pie once and lo.. forgot to add the lemon juice - ugh!
