My favorite things to cook
Desserts of course.. anything chocolately! I also love breads...and lots of vegetables.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom's family is German, and my dad's is from the south, so there was always plenty of meat, tons of bread, vegetables, and desserts to choose from!
My cooking triumphs
I made my first loaf of home-made bread the other day! It was delicious, and my favorite part was punching down the dough!
My cooking tragedies
I got married at 19, and only knew how to cook three meals. Spaghetti, stir fry, and grilled cheese! My poor husband ate those meals over and over for months before I got brave enough to venture into new recipes. Even then things were often over (and under) cooked for awhile. He never complained, although we do laugh about it now!
