How about smoking meat. I do know my way around a kitchen, but I love being a pitmaster. Does that count?0

I tend to gain weight when I eat baked goods, so I very rarely eat them anymore. I recently stumbled onto a healthy recipe for cornbread/carrot cake that turned out pretty good. I have to figure out the calories/macros but I liked it.0

Sounds good. I'm the same way. I tell myself I'm only going to a bite but it always turns out more.0 -
Try buckwheat flour. Great for waffles0

Absolutely. We smoke meat all time in our smoker.0 -
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!". .0

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.0

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.0 -

That's a good idea too. Send it home with someone else.0 -
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.

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!).
It's a minecraft cake. . fyi.

Oh yeah. . you didn't already know that!?0 -
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.
sorry if it's sideways. My phone is dumb and I'm too lazy to edit the picture.0 -
