I have always loved cooking, since I was a little one; probably because both my parents are good cooks. I love trying new things but I also have a few comfort foods I like to rotate every couple of weeks (like my pizza and mac&cheese).
My favorite things to cook
I love trying new things in the kitchen! I recently got into making (and eating!) Indian food which has been a blast. Soups, pasta sauces, and comfort foods like pizza and mac&cheese also top my favorites list.
Recently I discovered a recipe for Beer Bread on this site that is SUPER EASY but out of this world!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Ever since I was a wee one too little to remember, my family has implemented "Pizza Fridays". My Dad would show us how to make the pizza dough from scratch. My brother, sister, and I would forever be fighting over who got to mix the dough and punch it down after it had risen :)
My cooking triumphs
My mac&cheese is A.MAY.ZING! My homemade pizza, too, is the best ever (besides from my brother's homemade pizza!).
My cooking tragedies
Haha...when I was real young, perhaps 7 or 8, a friend of mine and I decided to make cookies for our two families. We thought we had everything right; experienced chefs as we were, we even could use the oven by ourselves! As soon as we took the first sheet of cookies out of the oven though, we knew something was wrong! The cookies were a burnt, flat mess! In all our excitement, we had forgotten to add the flour!
