My favorite things to cook
I love cooking/baking simple recipes, and adding ingredients to them to make the dish absolutely decadent!!! I also love making sandwiches/paninis, stuffed chops or stuffed chicken breasts, roasted potatoes with different herbs and spices, and pizza pizza pizza! I'm still in the process of mastering the eggs benedict pizza. I've recently started cake decorating also.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making pierogi with my Baba, decorating cookies with my mom, making stir-fry with my dad, and eating homemade herring with my grandpa. Every special occasion in our family was celebrated around the table with food full of love.
My cooking tragedies
I unintentionally used bread flour to make cookies, and they tasted very starchy and doughy. My stepdaughter almost cried when I threw them out! She loves cookies.
