lower temp and take them out halfway and turn them around. Oven rack placement matters, too. But there are so many good bakeries to support, it's perfectly legitimate to just BUY baked goods and call it a day!
That's what I do!
So you're actually suggesting I serve store bought cornbread with my ribs and cowboy beans?
Has Satan let you out on parole to torment me?

My mom is a really good cook and always interested in learning new things so she used to take various cooking classes. I’ve learned the most from her, old school PBS cooking shows (America’s Test Kitchen/Jaques Pepin anyone?), and just trial and error.
Hard to pinpoint any one source. Most of what I know about baking is from my mom and grandmother. But for just cooking everyday dinners and things... I mostly just collected tasty-looking recipes and tried not to screw them up too bad. I know my way around the kitchen pretty well now, but I still have to check recipes for things like oven temps and cooking times.
My husband is amazing at the grill but he'll burn water in the kitchen.
I'm the opposite. I'm useless at the grill, but I'll cook you anything you want inside.My husband is amazing at the grill but he'll burn water in the kitchen.
Oh man this is MY struggle. For real. It’s a full time job.
This one is easy. I mostly cook Mexican or Salvadorean meals because that's what we usually like. My husband makes his own homemade burger patties, sausages, etc.... but the one dish? Turkey... Like Thanksgiving turkey. I try every year and each year it's either overcooked and dry or it looks amazing, most, but... Bland. I've tried all sorts of seasoning, brine, etc.... but it's always lacking something. My family and friends say otherwise, but to me? It's just not good enough.
We're a mess here. Mexican food all year long. Burgers, brats, steak during the summer, with tacos in between. But Thanksgiving is the one time I want to make a traditional turkey dinner. All the sides are easy and I love them. But that stupid bird kills me.Turkey is hard because it’s gross
I’ve never made it but my mom used Martha Stewart’s recipe and method and it worked well. For turkey.
Rouladen intimidates me. I always look forward to when the local tavern rolls out their Oktoberfest menu every year, because they do German food pretty well. I always get the rouladen at least once.
Almost always. I like drinking. I like drinking when I cook. Depends on food. Sometimes beer. Sometimes wine.
I’m more of a drinker while cooking than with the meal specifically. Sometimes it carries over. Usually it’s wine while I cook, unless I’m grilling, then it’s beer.
It really depends on what we're having for dinner. There's something about and ice cold Mexican Coke with my homemade tacos but there's a lot to be said about having a Dos X with carne asada.
I usually drink wine with dinner. Sometimes beer, depending what we’re having. Like with pizza, it’s beer usually.
