I love to cook, to me it is fun. I love to experiment in the kitchen. My husband and I are very active, and we are both health nuts so I am always trying new tasty, healthy recipes. I am also a high school English teacher.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook big meals. I love to cook for a lot of people so if you are in Kansas come on over for a great meal.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandmother always cooks the best food. Nothing gives me the warm fuzzies like her chicken noodle soup, pumkin bread, and buttermilk pancakes.
My cooking triumphs
I made a chocolate tofu pie. No one knew it was made with tofu. It was DELISH! It is a recipe all can eat, even those that are lactose or vegan.
My cooking tragedies
I cooked buttermilk pancakes once. It was a fabulous recipe I had gotten from my grandma. It has been a breakfast tradition in our family. Well, the recipe called for buttermilk, but I didn't have buttermilk. So, I took milk and added vinegar. Unfortunatly, I added too much vinegar, and the pancakes were more vinagar pancakes than buttermilk. My supportive husband ate them as if nothing was wrong. I love him for that.
