I'm a wife, mom, gramma "mama", dog owner x 2 (was 3 when I joined). I work in law enforcement (dispatch) for around 17 years now. We have a show truck we love to take out now & again! We are all big eaters, we all cook, and even my 3 year old grandaughter & 2 year old grandson get in there & "cook"! We experiment with recipes, make them our own. Chicken, beef, pork, even venison-we can find something new & good tasting to do with it. And the side dishes-YUM! I'm not sure about traditions, except that we all do cook. My sons are just about as good as young men get in the kitchen, and my grandkids are learning what cooking is. I guess 'pass it on' would be our tradition. Anything the little ones eat! I have learned that anything burned can't ever be good! Saving something overdone isn't the same because what's done is done. Better to do it right the 1st time...
