I am a 39 year-old wife and mother of a beautiful 15 year-old daughter. I am extremely active in my daughter's school and church band program.
My favorite things to cook
My family loves for me to make lumpias, which I learned to make from a friend when my husband was in the Air Force, lasagne, manicotti, fresh bread, steamed green beans and mushrooms, and oreo-chocolate chip cheeseball.
My favorite family cooking traditions
All the women in my family have always made some type of candy during the holidays. I hope to be able to continue this and pass this tradition on to my daughter.
My cooking triumphs
Learning to cook fried chicken for the correct amount of time so that it comes out golden brown on the outside and done on the inside.
My cooking tragedies
One of the first times I ever made potato soup (at age 15) I didn't cook the potatoes.
