Prompt #14

To me writing is just as hard as cooking. I can’t cook for my life, which is surprising because my family is full of great cooks. My grandmother however, is by far the best cook in the family. She makes up her own recipes for every dish. Her most popular recipe seems to be her pumpkin squares with cream cheese frosting. Even my friends who hate pumpkin love her pumpkin squares. Many people have asked for her pumpkin squares and cream cheese frosting recipe but it remains a secret even to the family. In my opinion, my favorite recipe of my grandmother’s is her summer fruit cake. It’s a two layer vanilla cake with strawberries and blueberries in the middle. She even uses her cream cheese frosting to top the cake off. It’s absolutely delicious and one of the things I love about summer. It’s hard to chose a favorite recipe of hers because she is constantly coming up with new dishes. A week ago she used her last pie crust and emptied her pudding drawer by making a banana and chocolate pie. The bottom layer was chocolate layer and the top layer was banana. She cover the pie with marshmallow fluff and sprinkled crushed graham cracker on top. It sounds really disgusting but it was actually good and I don’t even like bananas. My grandmother’s kitchen always smells delicious since she is constantly cooking something. Ninety percent of the stuff she makes is given to family, friends, and neighbors. Sometimes I think my friends come to my grandmother’s to eat rather than see me. My grandmother jokes that she has adopted all of my friends as her grandchildren and that they are welcome over to her house whenever.
