> Well, I love to cook, but it has become a problem lately because I'm having trouble eating. I've lost 35-40lbs. since last summer. While it's good, I needed to, I'm getting close to the edge and have to stop, so I've been trying to cook again.

> I'm not the best baker--I guess it's the exactness that's required. I was always burning cookies until I started to use parchment paper. I did bake peanut butter kisses and a chocolate pie last week because I was craving sweets. But, I prefer cooking so I also made stuffed shells (meat and cheese), chicken divan and my husband's favorite beef stew. I go in spurts, o.k., I get obsessive about it and then don't cook for a month. My poor family.

> Any baking hints would be appreciated. I really want to make bread, but I've never done that. My mother swears that it's therapeutic.
> antiguaWow, antigua! 35-40 lbs. is great! You are my inspiration! (I've lost 13 lbs. in the last two months or so).
Well, I don't want to get this redirected to Health, so I will say my specialties are chocolate chip cookies and oatmeal cookies. Unfortunatly, these do nothing for my diet :(
For my husband's birthday, I'm making a chocolate cake with sweetened condensed milk, caramel-butterscotch sauce, whipped cream, and heath bits. Over the top, but sooooo yummy!
And stuffed shells are one of my favorites. Uh oh, I'm getting hungry...
