Question: Do you like to cook or bake? What is your favorite thing to make?
Answer: Like is a strong word. I don't enjoy cooking or baking yet I love looking for recipes, reading cookbooks and the idea of replicating them.
I'm not a patient person and I give up on things easily so I think it's some sort of therapeutic device to teach me those lessons.
Things I love to make (& come out good!) though are Chicken and dumplings, butternut squash soup in the Instant Pot. Those two are my winter go-to's. I also make a great grilled cheese using a few tricks I've learned out here and roasted salmon.
I do enjoy baking sourdough bread. I have a King Arthur no-knead recipe that I use all the time. It's easy and comes out perfect every time.
I'm really horrible at things like cupcakes, cake, cookies and brownies and pie crust.
Do you like to cook or bake? DO you have any favorite recipes I should check out?
That's too funny that cooking stressing you out so much. But yet, you love cookbooks and trying new recipes. I do enjoy your posts about your cooking/baking adventures. Maybe someday I'll get to sample your work!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE reading cookbooks - and I LOVE to eat. Cooking...less so lol Also, both Kevin and I have different dietary issues now, so a lot goes to work with him and I've been experimenting with healthier versions of recipes. It's tough to do with baking though.
DeleteI love cooking and baking. My daughter does too. I'm always trying new recipes. I've had to change my entire diet over the last year trying to eat more healthy and getting my diabetes under control.
ReplyDeleteKevin is pre-diabetic, so we're adjusting our eating too.
DeleteIt is stressful. I do not want anyone near me or talking to me
ReplyDeleteYes! lol
DeleteI had every intention of baking a loaf of bread today, but it was too cold!
ReplyDeleteWe have that problem out here too.
DeleteI love baking, but the clean-up is always a pain!
ReplyDeleteIt isssss! I make SUCH a mess too lol
DeleteSay what you will, but that picture looks amazing. I don't like to cook and will use my crockpot if I absolutely have to make something, or pasta is generally pretty easy. However, I will bake the heck out of some bread or sweet treats. I like to clean as I go to prevent an overwhelming mess. 😅
ReplyDeleteThat focaccia was AMAZING! Super easy too. It's King Arthur's recipe of the year = no knead.
DeleteI put things away as I go but I almost always end up forgetting an ingredient or step and chaos ensues lol
I don't like baking or cooking but I will fully support you by tasting your wares. It's such a labor of love. So much work for the eating time (10,15 minutes!). At least you enjoy the hunt for a good recipe.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had more people nearby to eat what I make. I usually take a piece or two for myself and send the rest to work with Kevin.
DeleteBeautiful post
