I have alway loved cooking and experimenting with new recipes. I have a husband, two dogs, and an infant, who all like my cooking most of the time. I started off baking as a child became popular among my family for my desserts. I've graduated to making dinner type meals, and as a newly wed making weekly dinner plans. I enjoy trying to come up with original ideas for cooking, although I'm still a novice at that. Thanksgiving and Christmas always consisted of our family getting together for a large gathering with a spread of food that even just a little sample of everything didn't leave room on your plate in just one trip. My first Thanksgiving dinner I cooked included apple-wood smoked turkey breast tenderloin, seasoned green beans, stuffing with cranberries and pecans, and pumpkin pie with pecan topping. It was delicious and was done in under 3 hours!(with the exception of the pie, which was made the day before). Chewy salmon.
