I love experimental cooking. I look for fun ideas and then try to make them my own. I love watching the Food Network or browsing AllRecipes for inspiration on what to make next. cinnamon/vanilla pancakes and fench toast, soups, pasta dishes, anything chicken, and pan fried garlic pork chops when I need some feel good food Thanksgiving!!! Everything is homemade and I look forward to my aunt's twiced baked mashed potatoes all year! Also my mother's meatloaf is fantastic (I think I might be able to eat the whole loaf)and I have yet to get it to taste exactly like hers - oh, but I'll get there. She also makes a mean cheescake that is just too rich for words. Chocolate mud pie and Meat Lover's chili that my fiance loves (the only things he has actually said is his favorite - this is quite a feat considering he says everything is just good to him - drives me nuts). My personal fav is an apple/veg roasted chicken - wooo so good. OOOO...and these fabulous pork and steak burritos with pico de gallo - yum. pumpkin soup...I was so sad. I actually found the recipe on allrecipes and was SO excited to make it because it was fall and I LOVE pumpkin in the fall. I had a preconceived notion of what it should taste like and it just did not turn out how I imagined it would. I was quite bummed about it.
