Why don't we change the tone a bit and share something positive about this weekend? The weather was lovely yesterday and I was able to take a long walk and enjoy the fresh air.

@vesta2659 I hope you drove past Nolan Garcia's house. He loves cool cars. If you didn't, maybe his mom will see this and when weather is nice again, you can drive by

by (940 points)
@heyward9 you are lucky I still burn everything
by (510 points)
@curley7411 mine was usually undercooked or over cooked and the taste could have been better! I started using a lot of different seasonongs! I hate cooking so much!  
by (1.3k points)
@heyward9 is there a fave recipe youd like to share?! Running out of ideas with 2 picky boys  
by (510 points)
@staffard86716 my family loved this and some aren't to hot on the ingredients but it is very good! Sausage manicotti Mix 2 cups 4%cottage cheese with 1-1. 5 pound italian sausage . Mix together and fill manicotti shells and put marinara on top and cover. 45 mins at 425. Take out sprinkle mozzarella cheese and cook uncovered 10 minutes!  
by (1.3k points)

With it being a rainy day today, first time ever, I'm making chocolate, peanut butter, cream cheese souffles without a recipe! I hope they taste as good as they look and smell!

by (4.3k points)
@curley7411 sounds delicious! Mine came out of the oven a little bit ago, I tried one, a little bit dry, I had them in a water bath, but perhaps my oven was a little too warm or I did them a little too long. But for first time without a recipe I don't think it's too bad.
