Married 35 years to my highschool sweetheart. 3 children, 2 grandchildren, 2 more on the way. Work full time, love to cook, releases stress and brings me alot of joy.
My favorite things to cook
Comfort foods are my speciality. Everything from Fried Chicken to Stir Fry's to Italian and Mexican dishes. Love making different kinds of quick breads and pound cakes. This website is full of great recipes and great cooks.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Definitely Christmas time. Fudge, Chex Mix, cookies, chocolate dipped pretzel rods, saltine toffee, pumpkin, banana & egg nog quick breads, etc;
My cooking triumphs
Crock pot Swiss Steak, homeade cakes, banana nut bread, and I made my parents anniversary cake several years ago. It was beautiful. I haven't made another one since, my gosh that was some work.
My cooking tragedies
1st year married, I burned brownies (how do you do that?) I made gravy once and wasn't sure what my Mom used to thicken it, so I used baking soda (my Mom used flour of course). Embarrassed to admit it. That's how green I was.
What's this?
