I am currently a stay at home mother for my two daughters that are 3 and 4 years old. Supper time is VERY busy around here so I lOVE good tasting, quick recipes! When I have time on my hands (haha) I enjoy making elaborate meals and I LOVE to have company over for supper! My Grandma gave me a Kitchen Aid Mixer for Christmas a couple years ago and it is now one of those items I just couldn't live without!!! I have recently found interest in cake decorating, mainly with fondant, and I am totally addicted!
My favorite things to cook
I don't have one favorite thing I specifically love to make. I love baking, but I also love to eat it ALL! I make something new almost every night. Only a few times a month we will have a main stay meal like spaghetti. My cooking range doesn't get too crazy since my little girls have to eat it too but when their little taste buds are ready, I would like to learn some mediteranian and asian styles!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I can remember back when I was a child, my grandmother lived with us. She was big into cooking and baking. On the weekends we would make homemade caramel and cinnamon rolls. The smell and taste remain so vivid in my mind! I don't take much time to prepare breakfast these days, but the rolls are soon to become incorporated into an occasional weekend!
My cooking triumphs
Just about every Christmas. My husband and I have the celebration at our home. I love it! I get to do the decorations and all of the cooking and baking! It's always a long day and ends with us all miserably full, but it's always worth it!
My cooking tragedies
Can a person seriously BURN boxed Mac and Cheese??!! whoops....I did! Who thought I would ever learn how to cook?!
