I can cook almost anything and wing it. Nobody died yet!

I'm a lousy baker, except for make from scratch chocolate chip cookes and that took a few years to get it right.

I also make geat reservations....

Like Karen said, I CAN cook, but I don't like to. I prefer to bake. I've become pretty creative with my baking. But the bad part is I MUST have a recipe. I'm horrible and "winging" it. Last night I baked white chocolate coconut cookies. They are very good.

And I have my brownies that I make (two different kinds) that I am expected to bring to work potlucks or family functions.

I never learned to cook but I probably could if I had to. I love baking though but I haven't done it for a long time. My family used to love my oatmeal rasin cookies, chocolate chip cookies, christmas cut out cookies, and my snowball cookies. Now I just don't have the time, the desire, or enough people around me to enjoy them with me.

I have to drop the humble act here and say that I am a FABULOUS cook. I make things up as I go along and some recipes which we enjoyed tremendously are forever lost in the ethers because they came and went from my head that quickly - I don't write things down because they are supposed to be fleeting.

My husband dances with his feeties while he is sitting and eating my dinners. . .ah yes, the way to a man's heart is through his stomach! Unfortunately, we both have a bit too much stomach!

I think that cooking is a bit like any talent - sometimes it comes naturally, sometimes it is learned (like with recipes) but it takes practice to get it PERFECT!

By the way - I can't bake anything more complicated than chocolate chip cookies. My baked desserts are a nightmare. . .but thank goodness for that in many ways!

I love to cook and I'm half decent at it. I'm not sure what I cook best, but my favorite meal to cook and eat is chicken cordon bleu and asparagus. My favorite thing to bake is carrot cupcakes.

I like to cook and my kids and family all say I am a good cook so this is tough to pick one recipe.

I will say my homemade macaroni and cheese is one thing my daughter always requests when she comes home from college. I make it from scratch with a white sauce and all and more than one type of cheese.

I love when my daughter comes home from college because she really appreciates my home cooking.

I make excellent baked chicken, and pork roasts. Not bad turkey, either.

What I cannot cook is fried chicken. I can fry boneless breasts, but to fry a whole chicken - legs, thighs, breasts - no way. It's usually burned on the outside, raw on the inside, and the coating falls off.
