hi kangaroo girl,
me too, i seemed to specialize in cooking cakes biscuits desserts and other similar lovely stuff....but when i cooked them i liked to eat them too.
Nowadays i put my cooking time into great vegetable stews and laksas and stirfries and things. Fewer
calories than commercial meals very often and lots more bulk! I guess i am lucky, as a coeliac, I am unable to eat anything with gluten in it. All those great lean cuisine meals and similar are useless to me. So if i don't cook nice filling main courses i am down to boring steamed vegetables and similar. We cook a big pot of something that lasts a few days and that seems to satisfy most of my cooking urges.
