I love to cook and bake meals for my family, which is my husband and brand new baby boy. Okay so the baby's meals consist only of formula at the moment but I know that I will love cooking for him when he's a little older. I am currently a college student majoring in secondary education and I work with special needs kids at a school in my area, it is the best job in the world! I like to try different types of food and experimenting since I get bored eating too many repeat meals. Thankfully my husband is not picky and will eat almost anything that I put in front of him. I really enjoy cooking and baking but I absolutely hate cleaning up the messes that I make!
My favorite things to cook
I love Mexican, Italian, and making homemade soups the best. Anything with a lot of flavor and spice is good. I like baking cookies and desserts because it relaxes me and puts me in a good mood when I smell something baking.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom and I make Christmas cookies every year together, even after I moved out of my parents house and went to college I always go over to their house to make cookies. Other than that we don't really have very many traditions.
My cooking triumphs
Anytime that I make a meal that people enjoy is a triumph for me.
My cooking tragedies
I can not fry chicken to save my life, it always turns out dry and a little too crispy (meaning slightly burned). I also can not make a good pie crust which is a shame since pie is one of my favorite desserts, but I keep trying.
