My husband and I are highschool sweethearts and have been together for over 24 years, married for 17yrs. We have two sons Scott and Jerry, 2 cats Samantha and Smiger, one cockatiel bird Larry . One thing not mentioned for hobbies that I enjoy doing is to crochet.I have been crocheting for over 30 yrs. My Aunt Arlene taught me how when I was just 11 yrs old. I crochet afghans and doilies for the most part, but will make the occasional stuffed animal as well.
My favorite things to cook
Anything that says down home cooking.
I don't mind trying something new and am always looking for new recipes.
I enjoy making the big Sunday breakfast for my family.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas dinner. We always have a large bone-in- ham and love to try new side dishes along with the traditional salad and mashed potatoes.
My cooking triumphs
Potroast with all of the fixes. I let it marinate in olive oil, 3to 4 cloves of garlic and a mix of my favorite seasonings. I refrigerate overnight if possible, brown it the next day and let it cook on the stove top for 3 to 4 hours depending on the size of the roast.
My cooking tragedies
Making a spaghetti sauce and the top of the garlic or onion salt came off while I was adding some to sauce.OOps!
