Thanks to my mother letting me help in the kitchen at a young age, I am a very confident cook and hope to pass on the same confidence to my children. I love all kinds of baking. Anything involving chicken as a main dish is also a favorite. Meatless supper on Christmas Eve and Good Friday has me aspiring to perfect my breaded fish and perogy recipes! My grandmother giving me some tree apples and asking for MY apple pie crisp. She's asking ME to bake for her rather than the vice versa. I also brag about our ultimate rib recipe. I still can't get my muffins to rise like bakery ones, but I'm working on it. I can honestly say that I've never made a meal where we had to opt for take out- that to me would be tragic.
