My favorite things to cook
I love to cook just about everything. Love to eat just about everything, too!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Both my parents were excellent cooks. Mom was German and an exceptional baker, especially for holidays. Dad was raised on a farm in the midwest and specialized in down-home American fare.
My cooking triumphs
My son loves to cook and calls me for recipes and cooking tips!
My cooking tragedies
Wouldn't call it tragedy, just learning from mistakes... when I was young I made a big dinner for guests using untested recipes. Only the biscuits were edible, and even my dog didn't want the leftovers!
