    I made these beauties the other day!! I'm pretty much only good at making deviled eggs and Jell-O shots.

    Hey two things you need to survive life!!

    I love to cook and especially to bake. My husband has taken over fixing dinner since he is retired and he doesn't always fix the best for a dieting me. I haven't done as much baking since I don't want to eat a lot of it but I will bake with my granddaughter and send home part of it with her.

    That's a good idea too. Send it home with someone else.

    I love to cook. As a matter of fact, my wife and I are retiring in 3 1/2 years and moving to Vegas, so I can go to Culinary School.

    I love to bake! (as long as the box has simple instructions). The fun part is handing over the icing and decorations to my 9-yr old and his friends. . "Here!. .Decorate this cake!". .

    O good sir no more boxes. Lol
    My daughter loves to bake and we do it from scratch. This way I know exactly what's in it and I can tweak it some of need be. Letting them decorate is fun. Its amazing to see what kids can come up with.

    Hahaha.. tweak!.. . Believe me. . I do NOT tweak. .That takes skill and understanding and some knowledge of exactly what that baking soda in the recipe actually does. Here.. this picture is what happens when I try to make something NOT from a box: (still, it was fun to try and my kid was very proud of it!).

    I love cooking and baking. When I bake I will lighten up a recipe if I can do so without losing the flavor. If I can't I make the full flavor and then try to eat only one portion and then take the rest into work or my kids daycare. For easter I made dueling cakes. One angel food and the other a sunshine cake from all the leftover egg yolks. Although I wanted to eat both, I stuck with the angel food since it's much lower calorie. Here's a pic of the sunshine cake. I frosted it with homemade whip cream frosting and added a layer of strawberries inside and on top. It was all gone really fast. tosq2tqcrerf.jpg

    sorry if it's sideways. My phone is dumb and I'm too lazy to edit the picture.
