I am a short Irish Girl that loves to cook. Do not do a lot of Baking but really enjoy Cooking. My husband loves to eat and enjoys almost any kind of food. We have been married 30 years and to his heart is still definitely through his stomach. However, my oldest grandson is 8 and so.....picky I am running out of ideas for him. I hope to get some ideas from All Recipes and from other members too. I love to cook Italian Dishes because those are my favorite foods. Growing up we ate a lot of Italian. My late Mother-In-Law Kay taught me many new recipes that I have carried on. Lasagna, potato salad, Baked Beans and BBQ Hamburgers to name a few. She tried to teach me pies but I think I am hopeless in the pie department. On my sons birthday they were able to choose what they wanted for dinner. One choose Lasagna and the other my Family Steak Dinner every year. My one Son Loves to Cook, and the other can cook but would rather not if he doesn't have to. My Baked Beans are requested for all get togethers in our family and are so easy to make. When my husband and I were dating I invited him for dinner and tried to make him Sloppy Joes. Recipe called for chicken gumbo. I don't know what went wrong but the Sloppy Joes tasted terrible. I added a few items and made it into Chile Mac. He ate it but asked me not to make this dish ever again...
