I'm a traveling Army wife, and mother of three beautiful kids. I love to cook new things and to tweak the "good" recipes to make them great! I'm still new at it, but I love flavor, and especially garlic...and onions. I don't like recipes that have "fancy" stuff that I either can't pronounce or find in a regular supermarket. I am always willing to try anything (if someone else makes it), but when it comes to my cooking, I don't like to waste my time, energy and money on a recipe that turns out nasty. Which is why I LOVE Allrecipes.com. been using it for about a year now, and just barely joined. I don't know why it took me so long! I love to make desserts, even though I shouldn't! I also like to make yummy dinners that by some miracle all of my kids like. It happens...sometimes. I once took a recipe that I got off a bottle, and after trying it once found ways to change it until I finally came up with my version of that recipe (way better than the original btw) that I would serve to guests and every one of them would ask for the recipe and make them for their family (who loved it). I made this cabbage thing with ground beef and many other seasoning...one of which was nutmeg. I like nutmeg, but for some weird reason I just cannot stand it when it's not in dessert things. Anyways, this recipe was so nasty even I couldn't eat it, and my husband who will eat anything, wouldn't even eat it. It was sad because usually I can look at the ingredients in a recipe and judge from that if it will be good, and I totally failed here. Oh well, live and learn!
