I am a wife and mother of 2. I started cooking/ baking at around 6. My mother is blind and she taught me how to cook and bake by having me read the recipes and then telling me what to do. I absolutely love baking! I start my Christmas baking in November and store away the cookie dough, then in December I simply pull out of the freezer and bake. I am also very fond of trying out new recipes with Italian flare!I enjoy cooking every night for my family, whether it's something new or a tried and true! Moose Soup, Drop Biscuits, Baked Salmon, Potatoe Salad and Macaroni Salad are just a sample of my Athabascan traditional favorites. Growing up in Alaska just outside of my Alaska native village has taught me the importance of a subsistance lifestyle. Hunting and Fishing off the land is only half the job, the other half would be...Cooking all of it AND sharing!
