I married my sweetheart last August. As a new wife and a new cook, I am working on building up my cooking skills. My ultimate goal is to get to the point where I can come up with a tasty meal off the top of my head instead of searching through cook books and the web for a half an hour for a recipie. My favorite things to cook are deserts. I love sweets!!! If I could, I would eat sweets for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are only two cooking traditions in my family. 1)For Thanksgiving, my mom always makes lime jello salad--it sounds gross, looks gross, but tastes soooo good!! 2)On Easter my mom makes carrot cake with a cream cheese and cocconut frosting--absoluetly the best!!! I make the best vanilla cupcakes and always use plenty of frosting. I always top my cupcakes with plenty of colorful sprinkles and display them on decorative cake stands. Any recipie that doesn't turn out "good enough to make again" is a tragedy in my opinion. Last week I attempted a chicken and linguini with creamy garlic sauce. It turned out so awful. I told my husband it wouldn't make me feel bad if he threw his dinner in the trash because quite frankly, I wanted to do the same.
