What are food items that you make well, or people ask you to bring/make?


Recommended Posts

I am very good at baking homemade cinnamon rolls and dinner rolls, those are my most requested items. Really basically anything that gets baked. Other things I make well that my family likes is homemade chicken nuggets and homemade cream of anything soup.

 

So what are you good at? Sometime I want to try making Pierogis, but I've never made them before. Anyone have a good recipe?

Potato Soup

Oatmeal Bread

Chocolate Chip Cookies

Cake of any kind

A new one: Raspberry Shortbread Thumbprint Cookies (from Allrecipes.com)

 

One night during our house church (every 3 months we do that) our elder was talking about using your gifts. I was so touched when he said, "Carli's gift is with food. If you put Carli in charge of anything food-related, things get done!" :blushing: It was one of the nicest compliments I've ever received.

For my family it is any of our family favorites. For my ILs it really varies. For a long time I was always insulted that they gave me the things that didn't matter (relish tray). Finally I gave them different gifts of food for things that they just loved and would like me to bring it every time. Also they came to various birthday parties where they loved one dish or another. I usually volunteer to bring a vegetable to their Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, otherwise they wouldn't have much in the way of vegetables.

Other people ask me to make "mexican food." I put it in quotes because what I make isn't true Mexican food -- it's mostly Cuban food and a few variations on Tex-Mex. I don't think I make it particularly well (it never tastes like I think I remember it should), but it's still pretty good and people seem to love it.

 

My family asks me to make soup a lot. I think I make great soup -- any kind of soup. I also can some of my own basic recipes (like vegetable soup, tomato soup, beef barley soup and chicken rice soup).
