I usually have no time as I am a part time student, work part time, and then babysit my adorable nephews the rest of my time and traveling to the northwoods' of wisconsin on the weekends for camping and fishing. I am usually cooking dinner for my boyfriend and I at around 9 or 10 at night.
My boyfriend Luke likes sweets and classics like chicken pot pie, apple pie and scalloped potatoes. I like to get a little more creative with dishes that are more complex, not as common, or ethnic.
My favorite things to cook
Casseroles, cakes, cookies, pies, pastas, mexican, all things baked, and anything basic things like bread from scratch.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Boiled dinner, chicken dumpling soup and plain macaroni with tomato juice were almost weekly dinners growing up. Holiday dinners were big with two turkeys, one in the deep fryer, one in the oven, deviled eggs, homemade mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, cucumber tomato salad, and mandarin orange cake
My cooking triumphs
Pie crust and fudge
My cooking tragedies
meringue, I can never get it right! I am still working on many candies and breads... but I will get it perfect one of these days!
