I am a proud mother of one smart loving son. I am also a single mother with abudget for creative cooking.
My favorite things to cook
Home made cakes (from scratch!) Themed cakes. Good comfort winter meals. Themed meals (Italian , mexican) I love christmas cooking and hoiliday cooking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Grandma's stuffing. Aunt susies home mad apple pie (no one can make it like she can!) I love bringing something different than tradition holiday dishes to spice up the holidays whether it is desert or appetiters Its a hit every time.
My cooking triumphs
No leftovers is s ign of GOOD COOKING! Examples : Fruit salsa with homemade cinnomon chips, Baby Blue punch (Pic above) I had to refill it like 4 times before my friend open the gifts! Kid friendly chicken pot pies and all my homemade themed cakes for his birthday!
My cooking tragedies
LOL My mom gently reminds A LOT of the creme puff incident I was 10 and not paying attention to what I was doing and they were egg puffs! Bought wrong ingredients for pumpkin turnover that actually didnt go too bad it turned into layer fillo dough pumkin cake thingy it was rich tasting but still good!
