First and for most I am a mom. I also attend school ( working on my Bachelors). Cooking is a great way for me to unwind, and I have found that it is possible to make one meal and please even my most picky eaters. I enjoy making my own recipes, and I hope that those of you who try them enjoy them as much as we do. I enjoy poultry ,vegetables and seafood the most. We are not big meat eaters as far as beef and pork goes. We make our own pizza's and everyone helps. I am irish and my husband is italian. The first time I made his favorite dish (baked ziti) he said it was the best he had ever had, and his sister asked me to make it for the up coming holiday dinner for the family. I made beef stroganoff as I had many times before. And when we sat down to dinner this last time it was awful. The meat was barely edible as it was beyond tough and the sauce was like concrete....we ended up having pizza for dinner.
