I'm a newly wed and I am in my senior year in college. I have always liked to cook and experiment with new recipes, but now that I am married I am cooking a lot more than I used to and I am enjoying it. I have a high need for creativity in my life, and cooking really helps me channel that creativity into something yummy! Desserts, casseroles, pastas, ANYTHING with potatoes, mexican dishes, crock pot meals, ect. Our traditional recipes were my mother's cheesy potato casserole and her chocolate chess pie. mmmmmm. Over Thanksgiving I made a dessert called "pumpkin pie bars" and took half of the batch to my in-laws for Thanksgiving dinner and the rest of the batch for my family back at home. Both sides loved them and my mother-in-law asked for the recipe...as a newly wed I would say that is a cooking triumph! One night (a poor college student night) we had barely any food left in the pantry so I decided to get "creative" and make.........macaroni and cheese sandwiches. It fell apart as my husband ate it and he said "ugh, this is toooo much! too heavy." So he took the bread off and ate the mac and cheese alone. I claimed I liked it, but secretly thought it was gross too. Haha...not really a "tragedy" but bad judgment on my part.
