What’s your superpower? Nurture it.
We all have a superpower or two.
It could be reading, writing, listening, speaking, being kind, baking, cooking, loving, creating, analyzing, etcetera, etcetera.

Too bad our public schools kill them in the name of shoving boring curricula and assessments down our children’s throats.
I’m in one of those moods today. But after months of eating, cooking, baking, AND reading and writing about all three of them, I’ve begun to realize that food is something I’m fiercely passionate about — dare I say, more than even writing?

Too many people are afraid to venture into the kitchen. I’ve also met countless people who will not budge from a printed recipe.
My advice to the novice cook is to dive in, make mistakes, make tweaks, and savor the process.
