I am a newlywed, still learning how to cook meals that my husband and I both enjoy. My husband helps out a lot with the cooking, and whenever it comes to steak or any other grilling its his specialty!
We don't have any kids yet, but I'm hoping that by the time we do, most of our meals are home made.
I am also really into health & fitness. I love working out - so I'm always trying healthy recipes, though I do think everything else is great in moderation!
My favorite things to cook
Right now I am really into soups, as they are a quick & tasty way to get some servings of vegetables.
I am constantly trying out recipes from Janet & Greta Podleski - their most recent cookbook "Eat, Shrink and Be Merry" is what I'm currently working on. I have yet to be disappointed with any of their recipes.
Right now I am hoping to improve on the presentation of my food, and I would like to take a course on knife skills.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I have scottish background and the day I learn to master "tablet", I will be a proud cook!
My cooking triumphs
I impressed myself when I made my first Thanksgiving Turkey Dinner. On top of that, I think I make some great ribs (got the recipe from this site).
My cooking tragedies
Most of my tragedies come from not properly timing something, or not having the right tools in the kitchen. I can't think of one in particular, but trust me, there have been lots!
