I'm 27 and married without children. I cook for my husband everyday but my real passion is baking. He hates my baking and makes me give everything away because he's gained some weight since going off active duty in the Navy. Alltime favorite is Homemade pies, but also Shortbread cookies and Breadpudding. I love to make Rachel Ray's Sausage Calzones - they always come out beatiful and gorgeous everyone is very impressed. My earliest baking memory is my Mom making homemade pies when I was little. She always wanted to teach me but I always told her I liked it better when she did it. But she passed away in 2002 and the pies slowly became a distant childhood memory, until I found her recipe (she had it memorized) in the 1956 betty crocker cookbook she had given me. I now make pies all the time. Mastering the from scratch cinnamon rolls. Yum! I recently made a rasberry cheesecake from scratch. it was in a cookbook from 1989 and took forever but was worth it. I couldn't figure out why the directions called for straining the fresh rasberry sauce and it wasn't clear on what part to keep. I kept all the seeds and tossed the clear red beatiful glaze! The cake was still a success even if it was covered with seeds.
