I am a business instructor at our local community college. I have 2 children. I have been married to my husband for 13 years. I love to cook! My favorite things to cook are homemade pizza, breakfast, pasta dishes-lasagna/spinach manicotti/chicken parmigana, and desserts. Growing up my mom cooked a big southern meal every night...I mean everything was fried! I just can't do that. My husband and I try to eat healthy and keep the frying to a minimum. We like to cook together. On the weekends it is a treat for us to cook a good dinner. I make the side dishes and dessert while he mans the grill. This is a weekly tradition most of the year (except when it is just too cold). During the Christmas season I make peanut butter balls and coconut bon bons every year. My husband's mother did not cook when he was growing up, so he is not too difficult to impress! I love it that he says my cooking is so great. It's also nice to hear my kids say "your cooking is better than MawMaw's." When my husband and I were first married, I made a meatloaf for dinner. My mom always cooked hers in the microwave, so I was going to do the same. I guess I cooked it too long becuase it turned out to be hard as a brick! We laugh about it now everytime we have meatloaf.
