I learned to cook from my Mom at a very young age. I lived with four older brothers and always watched her and was her tester. I learned a lot from her and by experimenting and and just imagining what a dish will taste like before I begin will almost always make it come out just right. I never use an exact recipe. I like to experiment and make new or revised recipes each time. My favorite things to cook: Homemade spagetti sauce with onions, peppers, sausage & meatballs. I also like to make antipasta, potaot salad, macaroni salad, Chuck roast dinners & homade soups. I also love to make homemade wonton soup or french onion soup. Every Thanksgiving I do a traditional Turkey Dinner with Pumpkin Pie for dessert. Every Christmas I like to make a simple ham, with sweet potatoes, veggies and mashed potatoes. I like to make cheese balls with tuna and cream cheese, spices, onions rolled in nuts. I love to make cookies of all kinds and cranberry crumb squares. My homade spagetti sauce with meatballs, sausage, peppers & onions. My first lasagna. It came out like an Italian soup. I was young and I am not Italian but I learned to cook like one over the years because besides seafood, Italian is my favorite.
