I love to cook with delicious ingredients (butter, salt, etc), my struggle is how to take great old school recipes and make them healthy. I also love middle-eastern food. Baked goods Casseroles Fancy things you always hear about growing up (rack of lamb, etc.) Only baking, my mother was not a cook but every Christmas we baked cookies and made home-made apple sauce 220 cookies 2 days before I got married My first butterflied chicken Rack of lamb for my hubby's birthday Many recipes that turn out too bland and an unfortunate buffalo chicken dip for a Christmas party that I let my hubby taste test, and it turned out too spicey for everyone but him and his dad!
