Professional, single mom of two daughters who are now grown. I have a grandson who is not a year old yet. I don't cook as often as I used to but am looking for simple meals to share with my daughters and sister. I am willing to try anything if it appeals to my tastebuds! When I was a little girl, I loved watching my mom roll and cut slippery dumplings. She was a pro! I loved watching her make homemade pies and cutting the crusts and fluting them! I loved watching my mom's hands work when she was cooking! I was afraid to try veal francaise (my favorite dish) at home. I was amazed that I could do it and my family loved it! I was trying to make a venison roast and overcooked it. I do not handle cooking mistakes well.
