Hello All:) I am a currently displaced country girl from the south. I am a an Army spouse and mother to 4 ages 2,4,6 and 8. I am a primarily self- taught cook. I love to cook and especially bake. Baking helps me de-stress. I have yet to meet someone who didn't like my cooking. Everyone is always asking for my recipes but I can never give them. I use the a little of this a little of that cooking method. Even with the recipes on this site I can't follow the recipe exactly. I always add my own twist to make them my own.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake,cookies, cakes,quick breads, pies and cinnamon rolls.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We make cinnamon rolls for every holiday, a tradition passed on from my mother and to her from hers etc. It seems each generation makes them better than the previous. Other than that for Christmas we always make a down home big breakfast complete with hash browns fried up in the bacon grease. So good but we only do that once a year.
My cooking triumphs
Most recently I won the Earle NWS bake off with a modified version of the No Bake Peanut Butter Pie recipe from this site.
My cooking tragedies
I simply cannot make easy fix meals. I can't make kraft mac n cheese or ramen noodles at all. It all evens out though b/c my husband can.
