The old cooking thread died a long while ago, it seems, so I'm bringing it back.
Do you bake? Cook? Do you just modify instant meals? Have any neat recipes to share?
Talk about it here. Anything's good.
I've personally started to bake and cook more for myself and it's honestly really great. I'm currently trying to get better at baking and making cheesecake, but I also want to be able to cook my own meals.
I might even put up good recipes on this post for people to look at for reference. I'll share some that I've made or I'm interested in making in the future.
My current projects:
Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough Cheesecake | A Nut in a Nutshell
I have made this a bunch now. I can only suggest to use Pillsbury cookie dough or another equally soft dough. It's seriously amazing, though. It's essentially a gigantic chocolate chip cheesecake cookie and you only need a tiny piece to feel full. Also when I make it, it's easier for me to just use regular sized chocolate chips. The stores in walking distance don't sell mini-chips.
I've also started making this:
Pumpkin Cheesecake | A Nut in a Nutshell
It's seriously a big favorite right now, the recipe calls for half the can of pumpkin, but I just dump the whole thing for more flavor.
I've also started to make home made mac and cheese.
Homemade Mac and Cheese {Possibly the World’s Best}
I double it, add a handful of mexican cheese and add a special spice from a local spice shop [Vulcan fire salt] and it's really great. I'll probably eventually make it twice as terrible for everyone and add bacon one of these days. When this recipe is doubled, it can make about 12 servings.
