I got married young and had to learn to cook from the get-go. By 23, I had three boys and a husband who love to eat! Now I have five children, so I cook a lot of large-quantity meals. I love cooking and trying new recipes, but I hate to clean up! Thank goodness I have my own 5-man clean-up crew! We love Mexican food, so I make a lot of enchilada, burritos, etc. I enjoy finding new recipes that are a big hit with the family. Anything they love to eat, I love to cook. I love the basic family traditions of making cookies at Christmas and cooking a big turkey dinner on Thanksgiving. One tradition we have is a spin on an old Greek tradition of New Year's bread. I bake New Year's muffins and bake a foil-covered coin into one of the muffins. Whoever gets the muffin with the coin will have a year of good luck! My chicken enchiladas are a hit with everyone who has tried them. My hubby loves my frenched rack of lamb, and my kids are crazy about my broiled parmesan tilapia. The first time I cooked for my husband (then my boyfriend). I made (or tried to make) chicken parmagiana. The outside was almost burnt, the inside was barely cooked, and it was not good. Oh well, what can you do? I was only 17...he married me anyway :o)
