I'm a new attorney and a newlywed :) I'm looking forward to trying lots of new recipes as I start down this new path in life. Baked goods (I have such a sweet tooth). I've recently started making yeast breads with good results. During the week, I rely heavily on the slow cooker and quick meals, but I love to really go all out for our weekend meals. My mom makes the best baked mac & cheese, and every year when we were little we would ask her to make it for our birthday dinner. I made my first Thanksgiving dinner last year, and it was a success. My first attempt at making jam was a disaster. I ended up with black raspberry sauce instead of jam.
