Wild n crazy, stay at home, work at home, mother on the go. I love meals that may be prepared in under 30minutes, minus oven cooking time. As long as it's healthy, one pot or casserole. Frozen vegetables's are a dream come true for busy cooks, nothing wasted, use only what you need.
My favorite things to cook
I love doing roasts, ribs, and burgers. I love soups, stews, chili's and casseroles. Baking cakes and cookies for my two amazingly beautiful kids.
My favorite family cooking traditions
During the holidays, I am carrying on a family tradition of preparing my French grandmother's, mother's Christmas meat pie, tortiere. This year my kids are old enough to help out. I prepare my Mother's turkey and stuffing with giblet gravy, at thanks giving, I do like to make the stuffing my own by adding some chestnuts, sausage, and apple.
My cooking triumphs
Learning not to fear the oven, that I can make roasts and turkey, and tenderloin and ribs. That Knorr hollandaise is better than homemade. Even though Campbell's stopped making bean and bacon soup, I can still live with Recipe Goldmines ripoff recipe.
My cooking tragedies
The worst is when I nearly burnt down my apartment building with a left over pizza box in the oven. Another, when my glass bake ware shattered all around a perfectly cooked pineapple upside down cake.
