Love to cook, but with hubby, kids, home, work, etc...so little time.
My favorite things to cook
Anything from scratch...Caribbean food, Southern food, grilled dishes, slow cooking, comfort foods, fondues, any kind of pasta & decadent desserts
My favorite family cooking traditions
The cakes, cookies, pies & cobbler table on Christmas Day! And my family Southern favorites passed down from my grandmom and mom!
My cooking triumphs
Currant Cookies - simple recipe, but made it without any recipe and they were good. This was quite an accomplishment and my first real baking success all on my own! Baking was a challenge for me until I learned the method behind the madness. I had to research and study ingredients and techniques. Always ready to learn more, more, more!!!!
My cooking tragedies
Spaghetti pie....why????????? and a homemade apple cake using 3 tablespoons of baking powder. The recipe was a typo and it should have been 3 teaspoons - big difference!
