I'm a single mom of one. I love to bake and cook! I love being outdoors; cooking over a campfire is definitely a challenge, but is fun and almost always turns out a great made-up meal. I like rollerblading, disc golf, sweedish metal music, technology, cooking from scratch, and healthy foods...most of the time.
My favorite things to cook
Grilled anything, cheesecakes (both ricotta and cream cheese), fudge, cakes (especially naturally sweetened), new cookie experiments, baked mac and cheese, turkey creations.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Meatless cooking. We grew up lacto-ovo vegetarian, but now I eat turkey, rarely chicken, and some types of fish.
My cooking triumphs
Mini ricotta cheesecakes, topped with a peach sauce whipped cream...all from scratch of course.
My cooking tragedies
Fudge that doesn't sit...two times in a row. Very frustrating!
