I am 26 years old and just got married last year, October 2006. I am a respiratory therapist and also sell lia sophia jewelry. My husband and I love playing with and spending time with our 2 dogs, Rudy and Libby, both black lab mixes, that we rescued from two different shelters. I enjoy bowling with my girlfriends in our Monday night league, our team, The Contenders. Pasta with oil and garlic sauce, baked macaroni and cheese, beer-battered fish and chicken, vegetables cooked in garlic and olive oil My husband's favorite, the most time-consuming of them all, Stuffed Cabbage Making anything on the grill (I worked in a restaurant through high school and college and spent a lot of that time cooking in the back. It was a Bonanza Steakhouse, so we had a huge grill) Baking cookies, cakes, brownies. Making stuff up as I go. I have a spice rack and I like to use it. YAMS for every holiday. There's nothing like mushy, brown sugar covered sweet potatoes. Along with my Grandmom Souders' recipe for potato filling. SO delicious. I look forward to Thanksgiving, not for the turkey! On my mother side of the family, my grandfather was Polish. I never learned much about Polish cooking but I really wanted to try to make stuffed cabbage. I pulled up some recipes for stuffed cabbage, actually on this website and used them to help me through this task. I took what I knew and the help from the recipes I found and made a orgeous stuffed cabbage dinner. I invited my parents over for dinner that night, and it was a HUGE hit. My mom said it tasted just like her mom used to make. I was proud because everyone enjoyed it and I put a lot of work into making them. My Grandmom Souders, my dad's side, was an excellent cook. She was a great baker, too. I have tried making many of her recipes as well with great success. My mom tells me I must have the Souders knack for cooking. The times I usually mess things up is when I use something processed, packaged, or pre-made!
