Last year when I got married, I barely knew my way around a kitchen. But... thanks to allrecipes.com and the cooks that publish their recipes, I can say that my cooking is way better and someone is always asking for a recipe! I have truly truly come to LOVE cooking. It is my favorite pastime!!! I also started taking recipes and trying out my own little twist on them or adding a few extra things to adjust to my families taste. Mostly all of them have been sucesses. I can make many things from scratch now and when I tell people I made all of it homemade they are just amazed! I love the look on their face. Pasta, bread, casseroles, roasts, pizza, and good homecooked cajun meals! I love all our traditional foods for holidays. Especially, green bean casserole!! My husbands family makes a wonderful cranberry salad, and also a mirliton stuffing. Its delicious! At the beginning of winter (2008), my husband invited some people over and we were chopping up some wood. My BIL had been hungry for gumbo, so we decided to make it. I was elected and it was my first one. I wasn't nervous but I asked my husband alot of questions... it came out great!!! i can't really think of any... but i can say that i really don't like to eat my own cooking.
