I am married and my husband and I have 2 daughters, ages 7 and 2. My husband is a bit of a picky eater, so sometimes I'm limited in what new things I can try. My husband also works this crazy swing shift, so I am really always on the lookout for dinners that can be prepared quickly when he is working nightshift (he loves taking leftovers to work - he really loves to rub my homecooking in the faces of the co-workers whose wives don't cook.)
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook everything: beef, chicken, pork, pasta, you name it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love coming up with new dishes that my family love and that I can pass along to my daughters.
My cooking triumphs
I can cook a mean turkey!
My cooking tragedies
My husband will never let me forget about baking some chicken one time about 12 years ago. I had coated it in flour and hadn't oiled the baking pan properly. When it was finished cooking, the chicken still had white flour on it - my husband looked at it and said the chicken looked like it was on cocaine. He has never let me forget about, what he calls, the "chickaine."
