    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.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    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'm not known for cooking in my family..lol My Grandmother and my Mom have always been the ones that cook the meals for everyone. I know how to cook some stuff--like I can make anything that comes out of a box and it comes w/ instructions lol and I can make good desserts...but I'm not that great at makin homemade foods. I can make tacos though...like homemade ones...they're awesome!!

    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.
