i love that i can cook, and that i genuinely enjoy it. i love cooking for my daughter, encouraging her to try new things, and seeing what she likes. i love making old favorite recipes and testing new ones out on my family. baking and decorating cakes is probably my specialty. and though it can be a lot of work (like the elmo carrot cake for m's first birthday,) it makes me feel so good when i make something yummy to share with others. this weekend i made zucchini squares and baked ziti with sausage. a visit from my parents today let me share it all with them.
