My name is Palei and I'm addicted to cooking. I'm a full time student, majoring in psychology, a part time customer service associate and a full time mommy. I love cooking for my family and coming up with different and creative meals for my boys (my husband and son). I love cooking hearty meals for my husband and I love baking cookies and cakes with my niece and son. There really isn't anything in particular I love cooking more except Christmas and Thanksgiving dinners for my entire family. I love cooking from recipes that have been handed down from generation to generation by word of mouth. Nothings in writing, there aren't any particular measures for ingredients and it just comes together. My favorite recipe would be good ol' southern biscuits. Whenever I can make a meal that impresses both me, my husband and my in-laws, I call that a triumph. I can NEVER seem to cook a proper stock. Regardless of what recipe I follow or how I go about it, it never tastes like anything except bland water. So, I use box stock :)
