I am a mother of two girls. We live in a home built in 1909 so we will be celebrating its 100 birthday next year. We remolded the ancient kitchen two years ago so now my husband and I are really into cooking. Having a usable space really makes a difference!
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy trying new recipes but also have some all-time favorites my family has passed down. We try not to get stuck in a rut, but it easy to make simply chicken, veggies, and a starch. Once or twice a week we try a recipe. Most of them on this site are very good and have many of the ingredients people (who cook) have in their pantry/frig all the time.
My cooking triumphs
I make pretty good cookies, smoothies, rice salad, tuna noodle casserole, pork chops, Yukon Gold scalloped potatoes, and salads.
My cooking tragedies
I tried a Martha Stewart recipe for over-sized fortune cookies. I tried about 10x with one batch of batter to get one cookie to not break. It was an absolute disaster! However, many of her recipes turn out amazing.
