I'm a stay-at-home mom of 1 (#2 coming soon to a theater near you!), married for 3 years to my awesome husband, and I like collecting and cooking recipes...obviously
My favorite things to cook
Hmm...anything that turns out awesome in the end. I've been trying new things, so I don't know what my favorite is right now. I don't really have solid, go-to kinds of recipes as of yet!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Holiday cooking- well, desserts are most fun to make for the holidays. I also like the Fall season when we go get pumpkins, squash and apples and make a bunch of great stuff out of them! Gingerbread houses and sugar cookies are a fun thing we like to do too- and making some pies!
My cooking triumphs
My DH no longer says, "Oh no!" when I am cooking dinner, so that's a triumph in itself! Next one to go: Getting my toddler to eat veggies...hahaha...that will be a true victory!
My cooking tragedies
There was once an incident with a pizza crust...my pizza filling was overflowing, so I decided to make a calzone...so I sprinkled ALOT of red pepper flakes on the inside first, folded it over and stuck it in the oven. It came out quite a mess, and too fiery to eat since the red pepper flakes were getting stuck in our throats. To top it off, I had never taken it off the WOODEN pizza board, so I cooked our board too...it's still here, but it's got a pretty good crack in it. It still works, I'll get a new one some day!
