I love to cook. I believe in "eating your mistakes" which accounts for my size....hehe But I am learning to cook healthier meals that my family likes and that don't cause me to buy new pants. Cookies!!! I love making cookies with my girls. But on a daily basis, I enjoy anything that uses what I have in the pantry, and can be made in 30 min or less. Being from an overweight, Polish, family....We love cooking together. Christmas, Thanksgiving and even Easter is a time for the kitchen to fill with people and aromas. As silly as it may sound...I look at the spices when I go shopping and try to find recipes that use a different spice... My goal is to use all of them. But when I finally found a recipe that used Tarragon...I was thrilled. pie crust...I know, it should be easy... But I can not make a good pie crust. I have probably 5 recipes that people have given me for basic pie crust.... No luck. So for now, I buy ready made and save myself the headaches!
