My favorite things to cook
I love trying new things. I would love to become a great baker, so I have been trying to bake more. I love cooking family recipes because they remind me of great times.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I would have to say that I love the holidays. There are so many holiday food traditions that my family has that really means a lot to me.
My cooking triumphs
I make a pretty mean stir-fry, lasagna, and a great banana cake. My greatest cooking triumph I guess was my first Thanksgiving that I cooked completely by myself. It turned out great with no major mishaps. Everything was good, so that in and of itself was a great triumph!!!
My cooking tragedies
The first thing that comes to mind is my Garlic Cheese Biscuits (like those at Red Lobster). I didn't watch what I grabbed, and instead of grabbing Bisquick, I grabbed Pancake mix. I pulled them out of the oven and was like, that doesn't look right...LOL They were so nasty! Cheesy garlic...pancakes. Yuck. Also, when I was about 9, maybe 10, we went over to a friend's grandmother's house. Her grandmother wasn't feeling well, so we offered to make the meal. She requested that we make a salad and told me the lettuce was in the crisper drawer of her refriderator. I opened the fridge, took out the lettuce, made the salad, finished up the rest of the meal. We all sat down to eat and I stuck my fork in the salad and yuck...I had grabbed a head of cabbage instead. Oops!
