I am a wife and mom of two who loves to cook and peruse recipes. I enjoy gourmet and ethnic foods, but my family can be picky and so I don't cook as diverse as I'd like to. So my palate sometimes has to wait until date night out with hubby!! I am much more a cook than baker, but I'm branching out lately with good results in cookies and cakes from this website. My favorite type of food is Asian flavors such as Chinese and Thai. I'm slowly breaking in my family and they have been really good with trying new things I cook. I am primarily of Polish and Hungarian descent. Growing up, I loved my Grandma's City Chicken (the one on this website is great!) and sausage with sauerkraut. I haven't been brave enough to try homemade pierogies yet. Most things I cook turn out really well. I think my best are my ribs, stir fries, meatloaf, mashed potatoes, fresh vegetables, and I make a really good red beans and rice (hubby lived in Louisiana for a number of years and approves). My mother in law makes a great zucchini pie that I just can't get right no matter how I try. I once made a cherry pie that had a disgusting, gelatinous filling (after I hand-pitted all those fresh cherries). And when I was a newlywed, I made ratatouille wontons that were oily and nasty.
