| I find bread is deceptively difficult to prepare. I am not sure how people make such beautiful loaves of bread, and make it look so easy. I am always struggling to get the right texture, flavor and density. Bread is hard for me. |

Rumali roti.
It looks so, so easy when an expert is making it until you try it yourself. |

I can do much more complicated things, but totally sucked at rice.
Rice cooker was a serious improvement for me. |

Rice krispie treats. Spent a small fortune on butter ver the years thinking that was the problem. Just can never get the consistency right, too hard or too gooey, messy to slice, you name it.
Choc chip cookies. Always turn out flat when making from scratch. Again, spent a small fortune on ingredients only for it to be gross. Box mix or refrigerator ones from here on out. |

I’ve never really understood this. I find risotto super easy to make, as long as you pay attention. |

| Deviled eggs. Those shells are terrible. |

I find it easy to make but a slog. The kind of thing you do when you want a mindless task. |

| hear me out - tacos. taco night seems like it should be the ultimate easy dinner but you have to brown the meat, time the shells right in the oven, grate cheese, prep lettuce and tomato, put out sour cream and salsa, fill the shells … I’d rather just do a meatloaf! |

Yes. Definitely if you are making your own red sauce with meat and béchamel sauce and have to par boil the noodles. Total PIA and makes huge kitchen mess |
