I love to cook and find new recipes all the time – this is how I found this site. I got married about a year ago and love my new kitchen where I create all sorts of concoctions – some better than the others. My husband always volunteers to try anything new I create. I love to try new recipes but my favorites are Italian and Polish dishes. I also like baking and trying to make some healthy alternatives to my fatty and filling favorites. I am Polish and my husband is Italian so we come from families that love food. Every Christmas Eve I make traditional Polish dished. I started to make Christmas cookies last year and I think this is going to be my other favorite tradition. Every meal that tastes great and my husband compliments is a triumph for me. He says that my ribs recipe rocks and he wants me to make them all the time. There have been few disasters but nothing that almost burned down my kitchen or stopped me from loving to cook. My “favorite” was attempting to make potatoes pancakes with red potatoes – no no – way to watery. It took me about a week to figure out why they didn’t turn out.
