My favorite things to cook
Just about anything, except I always lose recipes. My husband gets very mad when he asks me to make something that I can't find the recipe for! The only thing I am not crazy about is baking. I am trying to do more of that, but the kitchen ends up a disaster zone. Unfortunately, we are cursed with a very picky eight year old eater, so my recipes have become more "toned down" in recent years. I always am tickled when I make something new and my son says "it's not too bad", which for him, is quite a compliment.
My favorite family cooking traditions
French Onion Soup and Traditional Caesar Salad for Christmas dinner
My cooking triumphs
When I was 12, I cooked a four course meal for my family. My hero has always been Julia Child and I used one of her early cookbooks. My mother still raves about this dinner!
My cooking tragedies
Probably too many to list! The key is to keep trying.
