I love to cook!
This is therapy to me to reduce stress.
I have perfected so many recipes over the years in different genres of cooking that it surprises me. I have been told I make the BEST Thanksgiving turkey ever, and I can make any beef or chicken dish taste so scrumptious (except we haven't eaten meat for 7 years) if I have to. I can not only cook delicious vegetarian meals but also vegan. I can bake healthy vegan desserts and no one knows it doesn't have dairy. I can make homemade candy that is out of this world......no this isn't the healthy version.
I should publish a cookbook as I have created more recipes or I always tweak/change a lot recipes I find. I do have to admit that I also just cook out of my head a huge percentage of the time and have to force myself to write the recipe down.
I love that I can look at a recipe and say immediately how it will turn out or there's not enough of this ingredient. Cooking does require a skill but baking is definitely a talent. I have shared recipes with others and it doesn't turn out anything like it should. Thankful that I learned from some of the best.......my grandmother and my mom.
The other night I made Danish Puff Pancakes for my family. I had actually found the pan required to make these little delectable, melt in your mouth, darlings!
Back home we used to frequent a certain lodge on Sunday's for brunch and they would serve these. Love them! Anyway, they turned out really good and I mastered the skill for using a skewer to gently turn them. The kids all voted that we need to have these more often. Better than Belgian Waffles.
The only negative part is that we were so enraptured eating them that I forgot to take a picture.
