I have a wonderful husband who isn't afraid to try all the cusine I make. My favorite things to cook are great home style meals with a twist. Like most young girls my mother taught me how to cook. My favorite tradition is still cooking in the kitchen with mom and sis. The first time I prepared lamb chops they came out perfect. I tried to revamp a chicken soup classic, but instead had soup that wasn't fit to eat. FYI never mix a bunch of spices unless you know how they will meld together.
