I am a fitness instructor and mom of 5! I LOVE to cook, so to stay in shape I work out a lot!! My children all have different tastes so at times I feel like I am a short order cook! I have a 24 year old who is allergic to milk, a 20 year old who is a veggie, a 17 and 15 who are big meat eaters, and luckly a 10 year old that will eat anything!
My favorite things to cook
I spent a few weeks cooking with my Viennese aunt in Vienna and she taught me probably the best recipes I have ever cooked!! I love ethnic food. I cook a lot of Mexican and Italian.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My children love red cabbage during the winter months. It is a very simple recipe. Also vanillekipferl for Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
Expensive meats lol! I am always so worried I am going to buy an expensive cut and mess it up, so far it hasn't happened.
My cooking tragedies
Sashimi, one night my bf and I decided to stay in and have a sushi night. So we went to our local Japanese store and bought fish and what we thought was soy sauce. We couldnt read the label. It was horrible, something about cutting up your own fish and eating it raw isnt the same as eating it at the sushi bar. Probably wont do that again!
