I'm a mom and wife and I work full time outside of the home! My life is hectic and I am constantly looking for quick, tasty, healthy recipes to try.
My favorite things to cook
I love smothered pork chops! They are fried then simmered in gravy made from the oil, flour, chicken stock, and buttermilk. Not very healthy but oh so good! I also love cooking with fresh vegetables.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I don't really have any. I am basically teaching myself to cook.
My cooking triumphs
One time one of my husband's friends told me that my chili was better then his moms! A couple weeks ago I did bakes salmon and my husband said it was better than his moms which is pretty much the biggest compliment he could have given me because she is a really good cook!
My cooking tragedies
I tried a recipe once for corn and ham chowder that tasted really good...until I started throwing it up a few hours later and didn't stop for 2 days. I have no idea what was wrong with it. Another time I tried to make biscuits with bisquick and I made pizza dough. I have no idea what went wrong with that one either.
