I'm a Mom to two beautiful children, Olivia 2 and Myron 1. I have always enjoyed cooking and grew up learning how.
My favorite things to cook
I love to make Peanut Butter Fudge and No-Bake Cookies, following the recipes that my mother passed on to me. I enjoy making any type of food but I still can't cook anything on the grill! It always comes out BLACK!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandmother has always had a huge garden and does lots of canning and freezing every year. She is also the Queen of Casseroles, and can turn anything into one.
My cooking triumphs
When I was still in high school I went to the library and got a pasta cookbook. I got all the ingredients and went straight home to make Home-made Chicken, Ham and Parmesan tortellini with a Sundried tomato Cream Sauce. I still use that sauce to this day with several different variations. I'll never forget that day, it was delicious!
My cooking tragedies
In my first apartment I had some girlfriends over for Meatloaf. I was so excited to be cooking in my first apartment that I never checked to see if my meatloaf was actually done. When the buzzer went off I tok it right out of the oven, and, while chatting with friends and not paying attention, I loaded up everyone's plate with RAW meatloaf!
