Hi:) Still thinking of what I should write about me.....check later:) My favorite meal to cook is thanksgiving. I love the smells of Turkey and dressing blended with the sounds of laughter from my family.My best memories of home are ones where we spend time together in the kitchen. I mostly enjoy cooking comfort food:) Winters are long here in Minnesota a good cassarole recipe goes a long way:) At Thanksgiving there's a few dishes that MUST be on the table. Besides The main ones, there must be green bean cassarole for my sister, cheesecake for my son and slow cooked corn with cream cheese for me. Spending all day in the kitchen and watching everyone's faces as they sit at the table and smile:) When I was 21 I was asked to make beef brisket for a dinner my husband had invited his closest friends to. I was so proud of myself as I followed directions exactly. When it was time for dinner, the meat was horrible and dry. I had mistakenly bought corned beef instead of beef. Then the sweet potato cassarole I topped with multi colored marshmallows, turned a gross gray when all the colors melted together. Lastly, when it couldn't possibly get any worse, I lit my rum cake on fire and it actually blew up. I almost needed therapy after that.
