Well, I love to cook, but it has become a problem lately because I'm having trouble eating. I've lost 35-40lbs. since last summer. While it's good, I needed to, I'm getting close to the edge and have to stop, so I've been trying to cook again.
I'm not the best baker--I guess it's the exactness that's required. I was always burning cookies until I started to use parchment paper. I did bake peanut butter kisses and a chocolate pie last week because I was craving sweets. But, I prefer cooking so I also made stuffed shells (meat and cheese), chicken divan and my husband's favorite beef stew. I go in spurts, o.k., I get obsessive about it and then don't cook for a month. My poor family.
Any baking hints would be appreciated. I really want to make bread, but I've never done that. My mother swears that it's therapeutic.
