My favorite things to cook
Pizza (yes, with homemade dough), chicken or steak fajitas, cake - I love cake! Also, anything cheesy, can't resist the cheese.
My cooking triumphs
Homemade pizza is definitely my specialty - I've experimented with different dough recipes and different sauces, and I currently alternate between two tried-and-true dough recipes. I've found the best sauce is a simple homemade tomato sauce with basil, oregano, garlic, and onion powder. No added salt or sugar.
My cooking tragedies
I once made a plain cheesecake where the cream cheese was not yet room temperature... if you've ever made cheesecake, you know how important that is! The result was tiny lumps of cream cheese in the finished product, which was sad because otherwise the flavors were fine.
