My DH and I located in Austin area in 2006 from No. California. Really glad we did! I work, he's retired and keeping up the laundry and errands. Love to try new recipes, experiment with new flavors and seasonings, but my favorites include Italian, Tex-Mex, Asian (if not too exotic), and always looking for tasty but lighter food ideas. When I get home from work, getting into cooking dinner always grounds me, and it's how I relax while we catch up on the day. Dutch Apple Pancake in the oven - hubby asked for it this year, so guess it is a Christmas tradition.
