My favorite things to cook
Along with new recipes that I check out on All Recipes, I love to make recipes that remind me of my mother's cooking. One of our absolute favorite meals is Anniversary Chicken I, mashed potatoes and corn. I also loved baking whole chickens because they are crazy cheap and taste better than just about anything else I can make!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family has a Mennonite background, so there is no short supply of good cooks. Our family's cinnamon rolls are TO DIE FOR (even though I can't seem to get them right)!
My cooking triumphs
When my oldest son said, "These mashed potatoes taste just like Grandma's!" Figuring out how to make gravy (for turkey, pot roast and roast chicken).
My cooking tragedies
Although I try, my attempts at more traditional, ethnic foods are not so successful. I also haven't been able to figure out how to make rolls.
