Married for 30+ years. One son, 23, still at home. Registered nurse working 50+ hours outside the home. I don't do a lot of cooking for that reason. I like to cook when I have time to enjoy it. Since I have celiac and food allergies - meal planning can be difficult.
My favorite things to cook
All things gluten free...
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom was a great cook - she did it all. She made yogurt, baked bread, and had a garden and canned everything that came out of our garden. Christmas holidays were awesome. Everyone knew her for her pie crusts, cakes and cookies...but I hardly have any of my mom's favorite recipes - so I've used the Allrecipes site to locate those recipes that I loved growing up - summer salads, holiday dishes, kolaches, goulash, stuffed grape leaves, oxtail soup, and oyster stew.
My cooking triumphs
Since 2000 when I joined Allrecipes, I've had a lot of triumphs... Since going Gluten Free, I'm learning how to make any recipe GF - which is kind of neat!
My recent GF successes: Spicy Chicken Rice Soup, Creamy Chicken and Wild Rice Soup Recipe, Alyson's Broccoli Salad Recipe, Salmon Chowder, Rice, Black Bean & Feta Salad, Pork Chop and Feta Skillet!
My cooking tragedies
Since I experiment a lot, I also get in trouble. The worst was when I burned the rice in the microwave, and ended up having to put the smoking pot outside my kitchen door!
