Being a stay at home Mother of three I don't always have as much time as I'd like to throw together something for dinner. I'm used to picky eaters but love throwing it out there for them to try anyway. My kids love their fruits and veggies so I try to incorporate those into what I cook. Now if I could just get my Husband to be less choosy about trying things...
My favorite things to cook
Baked Goods, Anything Italian, Slow Cooker Meals, Cute Kid-Friendly Snacks....just about everything! I've been dabbling around in the candies section, trying to decide which recipe I want to give a whirl first....
My favorite family cooking traditions
Ever since I can remember my Great-Grandmother and my Grandmother have slaved three days straight to prepare both Thanksgiving and Christmas dinner for our large family. My Great-Grandma passed away a few years ago and my Grandmother has since had a stroke and developed back problems. For the past few years it has been my Sister and I who slave over the stove pre-holiday time. We are carrying on the tradition I valued so much as a kid, and we get just as many raves as they did, but the ones from Grandma mean the most!
My cooking triumphs
Just becoming a better more experienced cook is a triumph it's self. I have the palate of a child...I only eat certain meats, veggies, etc, and am always looking to find new ways to cook them!
My cooking tragedies
ughhh....too many to mention....I'm good, but I'm not perfect...lol
