I am a 27 year old newly wed always trying to create new dishes for my hubby. He also enjoys cooking (but not quite as much as me!) As we know good food is the way to a man's heart :) I'm am always trying to improve my cooking and increase the difficulty of the recipes I try. I'm usually trying to find quick yummy recipes for busy working days and enjoy spending time cooking and baking on my days off.
My favorite things to cook
*Low calorie quick meals
*Comfort foods
*Trying different pasta dishes
My favorite family cooking traditions
Growing up, quite often on a weekend my Mom would make her famous spaghetti sauce, she would start a huge pot of it early in the morning and let it simmer away all day with her fresh homemade meatballs. By supper time after smelling her delicious sauce waver through the house all day, there was no better comfort food that a big plate of spaghetti and meatballs. Now that I live far from home, she still makes up a big pot of sauce for us and freezes it into containers and brings it when she comes to visit! I'm going to have to learn to make her sauce sometime :)
My cooking triumphs
My very first time making a meal for company, back about 4 years ago, we had my future inlaws over for supper. I made chicken parmesean, pasta and garlic bread and they all raved about it. I think thats when I realized I can actually cook and make good meals for people.
My cooking tragedies
Nothing too traumatic to date, but this always has the potential to change lol
