I have a husband and two teens. I am very lucky to live in an area with 4 definite seasons! I enjoy them all in some way or another. I have just recently become interested in cooking, but have always enjoyed baking. I don't really have favorite things to cook, but I have favorite things to eat! I cook/eat most anything, as long as its not on the spicy(hot) side. My favorite family cooking traditions were cooking with my Grandma, since she never measured a thing (a handful of this, pinch of this, dash of that). No wonder I thought I was kind of recipe illiterate for so long! I just made my first holiday meal for in-laws and my parents, along with my own family. It was good, and more importantly, I don't think anyone got sick! I have many cooking tragedies, dating way back to when I was first married. I actually burned spaghetti noodles while boiling them, let them boil dry. There's way to many to share them all:o
