I am a new mom of one perfect little man! I live on a horse farm with my dream husband and I just love life! Now that I am home with a baby I seem to have more time to try different recipes. The goal is to expand our pallet and try things we wouldn't normally cook. We both come from the traditional meat and potatos background but want to experience other tastes. I LOVE cookies - although we are trying to eat healthy it's hard to resist making a batch of warm chewy cookies... mmmmm We also make cabbage roll casserole very often too! I guess that is our favorite dinner meal - any one-pot dinner is ideal. My husband & I have taken on the tradition of cooking a Christmas eve feast for family and close friends. It's a nice evening for everyone to relax and enjoy some good food & drink!! We always have a main dish such as homemade lasagna then we add in the snackers such as sweet&sour meatballs, veggies with dip, spinach dip, deli meats, cheese, fruit, crackers, a ham ball an then there's dessert... homemade pies, shortbread, lemon cranberry loaf & church window rolls - yummers!!! Not any big enough to write about! Yet!!! Although I have mastered a pretty scrumptious shortbread recipe. I once tried to make an angel food cake... NEVER again will I do that! I put the cake in the oven then turned around to do up the dishes, not 10 minutes later my hubby taps me on the shoulder and tells me my cake is bubbling over. Bubbling over is an understatement! The cake was everywhere! My oven mitts were covered in cake mix after I removed the cake and the oven was covered in cake, top to bottom. It took hours to clean up that mess. I have no idea what went wrong, I followed the directions - it was from a box! How I could screw that up I don't know!
