A few years ago, I realized that I am an aspiring domestic goddess! My dream is to have a house full of children while I make and bake the food of their memories. As of yet, I have started to explore the realm of my cooking capacities and love every minute of it. I hope to be more inspired as I learn new recipes. I love cooking anything Mediterranean. My husband is French and I was raised on a very heavily Mediterranean diet, so it comes very naturally to me to make that kind of food. I also love baking. I don't necessarily like to eat those creations, I just like the act of baking. My goal is to like cooking different styles of food as I become more experienced. My family has a long tradition of canning and making everything from scratch. Pies and pie crusts, biscuits, jams, canned fruits and vegetables are all part of the family history. I am trying to get all that knowledge from them so I can pass it along. I can't really remember anything that stands out to me as a triumph. Stay tuned... I made an apple pie, from scratch, that my Grandmother had shown me. She wasn't there and I was trying to do it by memory. During the preparation, I didn't think the apples needed to be peeled so I left them as is. Well, the crust formed a cover over the apples and left a gap of space. The flavor was alright, but just tasted like baked apples with a crust. My family still hasn't let me forget that moment!
