I am no chef (so don't be offended if I didn't perfect your recipe)...I am not focused on presentation (so don't expect pretty pictures)...I have given myself no time limit (so sometime I'll get around to trying all the recipes).

Tips Accepted

If I made a mistake in preparing a recipe that you submitted, or you have any tips to help out with something I did wrong, I'd love for you to let me know! I want to learn more about cooking so don't be afraid to help me!

Bread Bowls with Butternut Squash Soup



I've always wanted to try making my own bread bowls (p. 30) and I'm so happy to have a good recipe. These turned out perfect. However, I don't think I'd even try making these without an electric mixer. I used half white/wheat flour and that worked just fine. A correction in the recipe: 1/2 cup sugar (not 12 cups!). I only did 1/2 recipe, and for the extra flour I probably added a little over 2 cups.

Who doesn't love Squash soup? (p. 73) It was easy and delicious. I was told that it tastes best using 5 C water w/ 6 tsp. bullion instead of using 5 C. chicken broth. So that's what I did. I haven't tried it with the broth, but bullion is cheaper and just as easy, so I'll stick with that. Also, I don't have white pepper, so I just used regular old black pepper. I think it just calls for white pepper for looks, not for flavor.
