I'm a homebody who is in the unfortunate position of having a full time career that I love. Unfortunate, because my work takes me away from my true loves which are cooking, baking, gardening, decorating, and blogging. I seem to have found my balance somewhere along the way, though, and find cooking to be a great way to unwind after a long, stressful day. To get to know me better, please feel free to stop by my blog A Fabulously Good Life...

My favorite things to cook
I like to cook just about anything and am always trying to perfect techniques, recipes, and ideas. I seem to have a flair for pasta, anything with pastry, and roasting.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love the tradition of Sunday dinner and try to invite friends or family over to eat Sunday evenings throughout the year. I think it's something many people have gotten away from, which is a shame, because it truly is a wonderful way to end a weekend and recharge for the week ahead.
My cooking triumphs
I made a prawn and pesto pizza from scratch last summer that was pretty amazing. I have also perfected my pork roast and roast beef Sunday dinners. I'm probably most proud, though, of my Thanksgiving turkey dinner and my spaghetti sauce. I make good sauce :-)
My cooking tragedies
Polenta is currently a dirty word in our household.
