I am a single mother of one son who is 16. I work in an office 40 hours a week but still love to go home and cook. I like to try many different things so that meals don't get boring in our house. My favorite things to cook are just about anything as long as baking isn't involved. My family cooking traditions are simple meals made quickly. I like to take a little more time and be a bit creative with herbs, spices, and differnt combinations of foods. I can't say I have any cooking triumphs. I just follow recipes, add my own special touches, and it usually turns out good whatever it is. My tragedies would be desserts. I am not very good at them. They don't look very good when finished but everyone says they taste great. Not sure I believe them!
