I live in Byron Center. Michigan with my husband and son. I love to try new recipes. Soups are one of my favorites because there are so many wonderful options for making the same basic recipe into many different tasty offerings. I also like to make beef roasts with various vegetables, herbs and flavorings. Apple pie using Graham Spies. Cranberry salad every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Danish Apple Pie. Working with that crust is quite an accomplishment. The resulting dessert is worth the effort, however. Making thirteen different soups to serve eleven people for a Bible study series on Sunday nights. Shortcake. Forgot the baking powder and then my son tried to make the same recipe and forgot the baking soda. Both were failures and we wished we'd purchased the shortcake at the store.
