Sheila's Irish Cream Liqueur
"Everybody seems to have a recipe for this, but this is the one I have always fallen back on. It is great to bring as a gift when invited to someone's home for dinner, or equally as great to enjoy at home. If not being used within 24 hours, it should be frozen for later use."

Yes!!! I loved it when I made it, and love it even more a few days later! This was amazingly simple to make and tastes just as good as the "real thing". Thanks for posting and making my morning coffee time that much better! Made for Culinary Quest. -
Good and potent, too! This was a snap to prepare and tasted a lot like Baileys Irish Cream for a fraction of the price. Thank you for posting! Made for ZWT8 Pub Crawl Challenge GB region.

I didn't start cooking until my early 20's, even though I come from a family of accomplished and admired home cooks. While I grew up watching my Italian grandmother in the kitchen, I remained uninterested in trying anything on my own. As a young lady, I was known for being particularly ignorant in the kitchen, with no idea how to even make a hot dog! All this changed, however, when I got engaged. I realized it was time to let my inherent talents out of the bag. At the time, the New York Times had a weekly column called The 60-Minute Gourmet by Pierre Franey. Each week, I would follow these recipes diligently, and taught myself to cook that way. From there, I began to read cookbooks and consult with relatives on family recipes. At my ripe old age now, I feel I know enough to put together a very pleasing meal and have become accomplished in my own right. Having an Irish father and an Italian mother, I'm glad I inherited the cooking gene (and the drinking one too!). One thing I have learned is that simpler is always better! I always believe cooking fills a need to nurture and show love. After being widowed fairly young and living alone with my dog and cats, I stopped cooking for awhile, since I really had no one to cook for. I made care packages for my grown son occasionally, and like to cook weekly for my boyfriend, so I feel like I am truly back in the saddle!!
