I used to cook when I lived with my mom as a teenager. I am a recipe cooker. If I freestyle it usually doesn't turn out well. My hubby is the major cook but I LOVE to bake. Easy chicken curry as a main dish. Chocolate Chocolate Chip Cookies II from Allrecipes.com is my favorite dessert. Dressing is cooked in the turkey. Any time I cook and the smoke alarm doesn't go off is a triumph. Like I said above. Any freestyle cooking I do by just trying to throw ingredients together turns out horrible.
