Baking and cooking are definitely therapeutic! It keeps your hands busy, your mind on something else and you end up with stuff to eat :D

@Madhouse Pullet you should check out some of the recipes we've collected over the years on the Home Baker's thread. There are some easy ones there and if you run into questions or problems, there is most always someone there to help you out. The link is in my signature if you're curious and there's an Index link on page 1 of the thread.

I'm just getting use to the steps in cooking or learning why melted over softened is necessary for certain things. Lots of trials... so I definitely like easy recipes! I'll take a look more :) try something new.

This is one of my easiest (and a DH favorite) cookie recipes if you like peanut butter:

1 Cup peanut butter (either creamy or chunky)
1 Cup sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Mix together, scoop and place on cookie sheet. Bake at 325* for about 14 minutes. Enjoy!

You can add in chocolate chips or top with a mini peanut butter cup or Hershey's Kiss, or add in whatever you like (maybe M&M's?).

Those look so easy and peanut butter is a favorite in our house.

I've had the advantage of living around the world and learning different cooking techniques. more often than not, recipes don't tell you what technique is being used. For example: I was initially taught Sicilian, start with screaming hot olive oil, add garlic then add the rest of your aromatic's and herbs. But over time I've learned that I prefer the Tuscan approach. Start with a cold pan. Add olive oil, the aromatics and a little salt. Then turn on the fire to medium low and when the onions are translucent add the garlic. Different techniques yield different flavors.

When I lived in Germany, I loved family night. One week I would cook the next the chef. We traded many techniques as well as recipes. It was a really fun time. I actually taught the German Chef who studied in Paris how to cook Thai and Chinese. :D
