I'm 26, a college student, cook dinner for me and my husband almost every day, and have two wonderful doggie children named Gizelle and Ginger.
My favorite things to cook
I love making Italian food, breadmaking, and baking just about anything. My husband tires of all of those, especially the baked goods as he doesn't have much of a sweet tooth. But when I do bake up some cookies, he takes them along to work where he quickly becomes the most popular boy at school!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandmother who absolutely insisted on dessert after dinner. She usually prepared something special like a cake or something she called Frappe, which I think was some kind of fruit custard served layered in a tall glass. Even if she only had ice cream for us, we always got dessert!
My cooking triumphs
Making my first Thanksgiving dinner by myself for my brand new husband, father and sister in law. Several courses and it took me two days!
My cooking tragedies
I had this ill conceived idea to throw a bridal shower for a friend and 40 others and served four different fondues. After I burned the chocolate one, scalded the caramel sauce, and the marinara boiled all over the place, we called it a day and ate the back up tea sandwiches I made!
