Well I have been cooking a long time and enjoy trying new recipes as often as possible. I recently found out that my husband has gluten intolerance, so my cooking has had to change quite a bit. I have had to step up my cooking skills to make sure there is always a meal on the table. I have always loved to make chocolate eclairs, and various other desserts. I also have enjoyed slow cooking recipes. Mostly for the fact that the meats are always tender. My favorite family tradition was always cinnimon rolls at thanksgiving. Triumphs? Well I have definitely had the most amazing mango ice cream this one time. Except I didn't write down the recipe. I think it was just having good fruit. I have many tragedies, you just have to keep trying.
