I'm newly married, and I love cooking for my husband, family and friends. I really enjoy entertaining and trying out new recipes. I was always an excellent baker, but I surely wasn't the best cook! Allrecipes has really helped me to learn to master cooking basics.
My favorite things to cook
Trying out new things to make for dinner, so we don't eat the same things over and over. I also love making decadent desserts for special occasions.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making desserts for my family on holidays. They're almost always well-received, and since I am the only person in my family who LOVES baking, I am usually the designated baker on holidays!
My cooking triumphs
I like to make creatively decorated cakes for friends' birthdays. They're a lot of fun for me to make, taste delicious, and people love and appreciate them!
My cooking tragedies
I once tried to make a roast chicken. I followed the recipe exactly, but somehow it just tasted terrible! How do you ruin a roast chicken ?! :-)
