I'm a proud military wife and a stay-at-home mommy to a toddler. I love cooking, especially baking, and trying out new recipes that are both healthy and homey and that my family will love. My favorite things to cook would have to be breads and cobbler. I just love the way that the enticing aromas fill my home and seeing the beautiful end result. My favorite family cooking tradition, so far, is making breakfast with my son. He's only two, but he loves to help me stir whatever I'm making, whether it be scrambled eggs or pancakes. We look forward to breakfast every morning! My cooking triumphs, according to my husband, are chicken fried steaks w/gravy and my smothered pork chops. These are hits everytime I make them. The first Thanksgiving my husband and I shared together, I made a cranberry salad for a party we went to. Well, the salad never set so it ended up all watery...needless to say, nobody had cranberry salad that Thanksgiving! :(
