I am a SAHM (domestic goddess) with two beautiful little boys that are soon to be 2. I have been cooking daily for about 3 years, before that I was the lean pocket and protein bar queen. I grew up eating pretty bland so I am looking forward to branching out from meatloaf, poached eggs, and tacos.
My favorite things to cook
I love baking and decorating baked goods, although I am certainly still learning.
In addition to baking I also like to cook traditional foods with a new twist.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Seafood Feast for New Year's Day.
My cooking triumphs
When my picky sister-in-law kept raving about my fried chicken. She told all of our friends and even left me a message the next day about how much she enjoyed it.
My cooking tragedies
This is hands down my sons' first birthday cakes. I made two three layer cakes without balancing them correctly resulting in a "leaning tower of cake" Also, after spending so much time decorating the cakes and trying to make them look nice I ran out of time to make the cookie letters and used store bought dough which resulted in flat, burned sugar cookies.
