I guess all Im let with are the memorys, I was hoping to see some of moms talants passed down to my kids

Maybe once they get settled and get domesticated they will try...seems they all do once they get older.

I am sooooo lucky, my daughter is a fantastic cook and so are ALL of my boys. Their dad cooked a lot so they just come by it natually.

my Ex had enough problems boiling water much less cooking

Guess that explains why you are such a good cook....

Actually, when I got married...I couldn't cook either. Bernie taught me, then being a stay at home mom for so many years, I made everything from scratch....I learned real fast with 5 babies!!!!!

I make Turtle Cups...They are easier to serve and eat..They are always a big hit...

Ingredients:
8 ounces soft caramels, homemade or storebought
2 tbsp cream
1.25 cups toasted pecans, finely chopped
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
20 foil candy cups
Preparation:
1. Arrange the candy cups on a baking sheet. Distribute the chopped pecans evenly among the candy cups.

2. Place the unwrapped caramels and the cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for one minute, then stir the caramels. If they have not all melted, or if it is still very stiff, microwave for an additional brief period. Stir until the caramel is smooth and homogenous.

3. Spoon the caramel over the nuts in the candy cups. Be sure to leave a space at the top so that you can fill it with chocolate later.

4. Place the chocolate chips in a small microwave-safe bowl and microwave for one minute, then stir until all of the chocolate is melted. Spoon a small dollop of chocolate on top of the caramel in each cup, making a swirling motion in the center for a finishing touch.

5. Place the cups in the refrigerator to set the chocolate and caramel, for at least 30 minutes. Unless your environment is very cool, these cups will need to be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator, as the caramel and chocolate get very soft when left for long periods of time at room temperature.
