I am a self taught cook. I really don't know what happened one day but I decided to try a new recipe every day. I have been doing this for many years now. If we love it, I will file it and use it again. But if a clipped recipe isn't something we just love, it gets tossed because I don't have the room to keep them all. Everything that is family friendly. I tend to shy away from seafood just because I don't care for it. When my husband wants seafood, we go out. We love to grill in the summer and love entertaining. My husband is from Cali and I from the south. So I tend to switch up the food a lot. Pretty much everything I make triumphs! I used way too much phyllo dough one day and it took a long time to find the chicken inside.
