Baking & Cooking Anxiety: How Bad Does Yours Get?

Nicole has been talking about her pecan pie that she makes every year for Thanksgiving. She’s planning on bringing it to her boyfriend’s family dinner and she’s been looking for other pecan pie recipes to spice hers up. Nicole has admitted that she’s little nervous about bringing it to his family. What if they don’t like it and her pie is left there on the table, barely touched while everyone else’s dessert is gone?

Rich thinks a lot of people are having anxiety over cooking for the holidays. Everyone wants people to like what they make and as silly as it might seem, it hurts when people reject your dish and it’s just sitting there on the table waiting to be eaten. Ryan can definitely understand the feeling. He likes to cook and, obviously, when he cooks for other people he wants them to like it.

Stan doesn’t really cook, but he sees how stressed his wife gets around the holidays when she has to cook and bake for everyone. She has the exact opposite problem though. Stan has to hide some of her cooking for himself because everyone eats up is wife’s cooking in a hot minute.

There are a lot of people that feel this way, especially if you’re cooking or baking for everyone for the first time. Are you that person? Do you get anxious when you have to bake or cook for the holidays? Have you ever had a dish that didn’t do so well?
