I'm a stay-at-home mom and wife of 10 years. I've become more into cooking over the last three years now that I have more time for prep and whatnot. I'm always looking for good "make ahead meals" to take to our cabin!
My favorite things to cook
Chicken, chicken and chicken.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Flank Steak. I grew up on flank steak, before it was so popular and it was just a cheap cut of meat. My father-in-law thought it was nasty until he ate mine.
My cooking triumphs
Prime Rib! I made Prime Rib for Christmas dinner and it was the best I've ever made. The secret was roasted garlic rubbed all over the outside! And I have finally mastered Au Gratin Potatoes!
My cooking tragedies
Pizza dough and macaroni and cheese. I would love to make homemade pizza, I just can't get the dough right! Same with the cheese sauce for mac-n-cheese.
