I love to bake and my husband loves that I love to bake :) Trying new recipes and modifying to make them my own seems to be my style of cooking. I always tell folks I don't think I have made the same dish twice. I seem to be unable to stop experimenting; and cooking calms my soul. I can stay in the kitchen for hours and only stop cooking because I do have a food budget!! I make my own dogfood and dog treats and I swear I may just begin making treats for the neighborhood squirrels. NOT! I love to read, work in the garden, and work in the yard. I have a degree in Computer Information Science, live in the Rocky Mtns, and love camping in our National Parks. Life is good in Colorado! My favorite thing to cook is anything that is sweet and must be baked. So baking is my favorite thing to cook but I spend plenty of time slow cooking and grilling in the summer. Thanksgiving! Several traditional foods and I always love to cook something new for the Turkey Day table. Fudge! I worked for years to make a good fudge and more often than not it just did not turn out for me. Then one Christmas my daughter, who is now32 wanted to make fudge together. Being inspired and not wanting to blow it for her, I found the greatest fudge recipe, (Marbled Fudge in an old Betty Crocker recipe book, I received as a wedding gift 15 years ago)followed the recipe to the letter,and WOW it worked! I have been making huge batches of fudge for years. Now I even give away fudge for Christmas. The first year I was married, following Thanksgiving, I decided to try a Turkey Lasagna. I used veges, turkey, lasaga noodles, and an alfredo sauce. Well, my husband hated it and begged me never to make it again.:)) I never did.
