I work full-time and I'm a part-time student. I love to cook and bake as long as I have the time to do it right. I have 2 grown children, 18 and 23, who still live at home but also work and attend college. Weeknights are always a challenge but I love to spend the better part of my weekend in the kitchen trying out new recipies. Anything italian or mexican. Homemade pasta with sauce and lasagna are 2 of my specialties. I also love to bake just about anything. Only problem is that I also love to eat just about anything I bake :0)I especially enjoy trying different cheesecake recipies. Baking with my Mom when I was a little girl. Mom has since passed on but I took up the tradition with my own kids when they were big enough to help. To this day, they have a fit if I bake cookies when they're not around to help. I always have some difficulty roasting or grilling meat. I tend to either overcook it or undercook it. Last Christmas I took a risk and made a prime rib roast, using a recipe I found on this site. It came out awesome. I also bake a mean cheesecake. My first attempt at making a yeast bread was a disaster. I made crescent rolls and I guess I used too much yeast. Each roll was the size of a small loaf of bread and the taste of the yeast was overpowering. They were inedible. Oh yes, and then there was the time I baked a perfect cherry pie only to drop it on my foot taking it out of the oven. Ouch!
