Recently moved to the east coast to be with the love of my life, which has put a real strain on my cooking style since he does not have the same taste for food that I have. It is a challenge, but I will prevail! Italian, anything italian! I love breakfast any time of day. Before I moved to VA, I lived near all my siblings and every Christmas morning it was our tradition to have Christmas brunch at my house after exchanging gifts. I made a feast every year including quiches, orange glazed ham, several breakfast casseroles, cinnamon rolls.... I started cooking the family meals by or before age 13, simply out of necessity (my mother just didn't have the gift!) I won a few cooking contests while still in elementary school (that was kind of exciting for a kid!). I think my biggest triumph would be my nephews wedding...I volunteered to cater the reception of 150 guests with only the help of my boyfriend....we received a standing ovation afterward! Too many to count!
