My favorite family cooking traditions
i used to make apple crisp for my dad every fall. i also like to make mint candy every x-mas.
My cooking tragedies
when i was 14 i wanted to make a home made cake. i mixed up my measurement for baking power for baking soda.it was the worst.also that same year i wanted to make microwave cookies.while the recipe was great baking in the microwave wasn't, they were so hard you could throw them against the wall and they still would not brake.

Turkey in a Bag
i started using the turkey bag when i met my hubby.i used always just rub with butter and seasoning and bake in the past like my mom.but since using the bag i won't cook it any other way. and yes clean up is a snap.thanks to my hubby for introducing me to the turkey bag.it works in my big slow cooker as well as in the oven.just rub and season as i always do and then put turkey in the bag and bake.i don't even have to baste any more and more plus i haven't had one dry turkey since i started using the bag.

Crab Stuffed Manicotti
this is very close to what i make. i use marina sauce instead.no sugar or chicken broth in mine either.but i do add one egg and half ricotta cheese and half cream cheese.and mozzarella cheese in the filling. top with sauce and more mozzarella cheese.the filling also makes a nice dipping sauce for chips my hubby friends used to tell me.
