I am a mother of more than a quiver of children, one of which has autism. I work from home in ministry and homeschool my younger children (once they hit high school, they attend a charter).
My favorite things to cook
Well in cooking I would say I am really good at candy. Otherwise, I think I am probably a better baker than I am a cook. Desserts seem to be my strength.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom made excellent candy and pies when I was growing up and that seems to be my strength as well. Anything I bake that is a treat, like banana bread, blueberry muffins, etc...come out killer! I also decorate cakes for our personal use.
My cooking triumphs
It took me quite some time to master tacos the way my hubby likes them.
My cooking tragedies
Honeycomb usually takes me about 3 tries to get a batch I think is spot on. The other 2 go in the trash. I have had a homemade angel food cake collapse. I have made a recipe on here that tasted so bad it smelled like PUKE throughout our house (wonder if it was intentional??? LOL!)
