My name is Tammy. I have been married for 20 years to a wonderful man. I have 2 boys. All of them love to eat. I love trying new recipes and have gotten my picky husband to try many things he never thought he would and he acually like them. Cooking is my favorite to pass the time.
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking casseroles, stews and soups, desserts. I love grilling. With the weather in Georgia you can grill nearly year round. And with the hot summers here that helps keep from heating up the house.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I was raised having Sunday dinner with the family. We would all load up and go to grandmothers where she would have a wonderful dinner made. I am now doing that with my husbands side of the family. Only now I host.
My cooking triumphs
I love trying new recipes and techniques. I love it when I try something new and everyone loves it. I tried for years to get potato salad to taste like my grandmothers. I tried it several weeks ago again and it was almost identical to hers. My brother-in-law who had never ate my grandmothers potato salad said that was the best potato salad he had ever had.
My cooking tragedies
Had my share of cooking tragedies too. Learning to grill was a task. I have burned many of good steaks. Knowing when the grill is ready is the key. I also was making a Red Velvet Cake for a family Christmas gathering many years ago. Somehow the food coloring lids had been swapped. I used green instead of red. Same great taste just had to rename it.
