What do you like to do better?  I love to cook, but I'm not really a good baker.

I would much rather bake than cook.  I just don't get the chance to very often as pretty much everyone in the house has given up sweets while trying to be healthier so not a lot of point in baking anything.

  Bake anything: Veggies, casseroles, fish, fruits and much more. Cooking is messy and            complicated. Avoid sugary stuff.

More into cooking than baking.  Have to stay away from flour and wheat now.

Baking, but I love my crockpots! I don't like cooking on the stove at all, or the grill.

i'm not a baker,,,  I do cook things once in awhile.  My hubby does all the cooking mostly.  He loves to grill so we grill out all year,,,  snowstorms and all   LOL    we don't eat sweets very much so we don't eat cakes and cookies or pies,,  so that pretty much takes care jof the baked stuff  :)

I love baking - so much so that I'm now turning it into career.  I've been blessed with a job that enhances my abilities and a husband that supports the destination of my little Farmers Market stand.  It's an exciting time.  Sometimes I can cook... I really have to be in the mood though... Being Mom and wife I cook all the time.. and I'm okay at it... it's just a task..

I love baking, but when I don't have a lot of time, I use my crock pot and let it simmer all day.

I like to do both.  I like to try new recipes when cooking especially if someone is around who enjoys to try new things.  I also like to bake.

I like to do both, but I am probably a better cook!

I don't like doing either, I really dislike baking of the two. 

Cooking, to me, used to mean "opening a can".  Then it became 98% happening in a slow cooker.  That turned into "skipping the cooking" and making a salad.  It's about to become "making a salad & steaming veggies", which I think it about as easy as "cooking" can get.  :)

I like to cook, bake use the crock pot. sometimes do all three in one day. today i made special cookies with honey and while i was doing that i was  fixing rice pudding in the crock pot . I did it there as i  did not like cooking it on the stove while doing the baking and it does not burn. I made it with coconut milk since i have been cutting down on hubbies calories . coconut milk is a lot better for him and i don't have to use as much sugar either. Cream is so  heavy with  calories and need s more sugar. It is not bad, I just make the regular rice  recipe and then put it in the crock post with the milk and a little sugar and let it cook. If it starts to get too dry add a little more of the coconut milk.  Simple bu better for him.
