I am a mother of three. I am always trying to expand their taste buds, but it does not always work!! We travel all over US and Europe, and I am interested in trying to cook the foods of the areas we go to. Sometimes I get stuck in routine and I need to keep expanding and finding new and easy flavors and ideas for food. I don't have favorites per se, I love a lot of foods that I have yet to try and cook. I love vegetarian, middle east, and mediterranean dishes but I am scared to make them, i.e. tabouli hungarian goulash, coq au vin, paprikash pumpkin bread that everyone always wants the recipe to(better than Starbucks version) not having the right ingredients and doing the recipe anyway. Flubbing thru usually gets me in trouble. Also, I never make enough sauce when doing home pasta sauces, etc.
