My friends consider me the "suzy home maker" because I am super creative with my meals and manage to always eat healthy. I am typically the family dietician and food experiment expert.
My favorite things to cook
First and foremost I love to bake. After that I like to take simple dishes and turn them into semi-gourmet feasts. I also love to create new recipes that are easy on the wallet and the waist line.
My favorite family cooking traditions
When I was growing up we always made a big elaborate breakfast on Christmas Day. Now that I am married we carry on that tradition, I make breakfast on Christmas and my husband makes it on Thanksgiving.
My cooking triumphs
A fond triumph is when I made my very first cheese cake and it was wonderful. A peanut butter cheesecake with a brownie crust and a chocolate candy shell over the entire thing. I consider myself triumphant any time I make something so well that people no longer want to get it when they go out to dinner, they just ask me to make it for them.
My cooking tragedies
I tried to grill a pizza and I burnt it so bad that it was completely inedible.
