I prefer to cook and eat at home than to eat out. My husband loves that about me!!! My cooking is a gift to my family, that I can give them everyday. I love to cook, not always fast and easy. I make up my own dishes and almost never go by a recipe 100%. I use recipes as a guide. Christmas Eve lasagne. Birthdays are always the celebrant's request. 18 different types of cookies for Christmas, while under going chemo. I can not make pies. I made, twice, a pumpkin pie that we should have eaten with a straw, but decided to throw out.
