I use to own a breakfast/lunch cafe, now I just enjoy cooking for my family. Large holiday meals, the more complex the menu, the better. If there is one thing that challenges me, it's baking....I so wish I had the skills of my Grandmothers! Thanksgiving dinner....it's nice to bring out everyones favorite recipes and hear them say, "you made _____ for me!" Perfecting my Grandmothers turkey and dressing recipe. Learning to line cook at my restaurant for 500+ people in a day and being able to keep up with the professionals Baking Christmas candies one year and having every receipe that contained chocolate turn into a disaster.....Thank goodness for cookies
