Single Mom with a young child. So cooking can be a challenge to find things we both like.
My favorite things to cook
Most recipes I have not tried. I like very much to find recipes by just opening a cookbook and saying I think I will try that today.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thankgiving Stuffing. My Grandmother makes stuffing like none I have ever had before. She is from the school of I put this and I'll put that and it is never the same twice. It is still great each time though. So everyone in my family is looking to me to learn her secret. So one day it will be my tradition, but hopefully not for many years to come.
My cooking triumphs
Pesto Chicken and Cabbage. I saw someone make something like it. I then went home and did it my way. I have since made it over 50 times for people in my family and I have only been making it for about 6 months now. It was a great hit.
My cooking tragedies
The first time I made homemade bread I was about 12 and had no idea about kneading and what it meant. My bread rolls were like rocks. They just made me want to do better the next time though.
