I love to cook for my Husband and kids. They love being my little guinea pigs when it comes to new recipes. I take pride in making a great meal for my family. Anything new.. I love trying new recipes. I have to cook for a diabetic so working with new recipes creates challenges. We have a potluck once a year and show off our cooking skills. You know yours was great when your dish is empty. You know it was the best if it is empty first. After finding out my husband was diabetic I had to learn how to cook all over again. I am learning something everyday. First time I made chicken and dumplings after I was first married, my water ran dry under my dumplings so when I poked into the dumplings they poofed and fell into the burnt mush at the bottom.. Being newlyweds my husband didn't want to hurt my feelings and still ate it..I begged him not but he did.. I knew then why I married him. We are still together today 11 years later and He says I am a much better cook now..
