Learn How To Cook
by eighties-child
Some of my favourite early childhood memories are of cooking in the kitchen with my mother. Flour would cover every surface, as well as the floor and the walls if my sisters and I were all involved! We would assist in every possible dish you could imagine. All kinds of delicious pies, filled to the brim with succulent meat, or sweet juicy fruits.

Fall Off The Bone Ribs
by Jolene Belmain
I don't know how I lucked out, but the first time I ever made ribs in the oven, they turned out absolutely perfect! I couldn't have ordered a more moist rack of pork ribs if I went to a restaurant that specialized in ribs.I started out by going onto a recipe site to look up a spice recipe for my ribs. The thing you should know about me, is that a recipe that I find, never ends up being the same recipe.

We have flour, butter, dark brown sugar, milk; but we were missing one important ingredient, the yeast - we don't have yeast! What can we use to replace yeast to make cinnamon rolls?
