Love to read, collect cookbooks, married for 8 year to a fantastic cook, and have 6 year old son who is pretty good about trying new things! I am getting out of my same old, same old rut and actually trying new things. Love to make home made pasta with family, and sauces, veggie stir frys I like to make my own "hamburger helper" type meals with different veggies and spices. Love crock pot meals, even in hot Florida. My husband and I always make christmas candy (fudge, glass candy, peanut brittle) and cookies. When my in laws come to to town we make a bread and tomato soup, and we make tortays for most holidays - ravioli's filled with a mix of sweet potato, parm. cheese and crackers. anything I don't burn or dry out... instead of slow roasting a garlic bulb in the oven (in a terra cotta pot) I put the bulb in the pot in the microwave - the bulb caught fire, the pot broke, and my microwave never smelled the same again...also my inability to cook a slightly moist pork chop...
