I'm a full time working mother of 2. I'm a parrothead and I enjoy being outdoors. Traditional italian dishes, as a result of my heritage, as well as any type of comfort food that my family enjoys. Cooking Thanksgiving at my house with my mother, Christmas brunch that I prepare myself, and my new tradition of involving my young son in preparing the meals. My first turkey ever - when I was 23 years old and living in an apartment. No one thought I could turn out a delicious juicy turkey, and I NAILED it. It was incredible. And it looked like the pictures in a magazine! I still cannot prepare a Roast Beef. I can make pot roast, but whenever I try to make a fancy roast beef, it never comes out tender, juicy, and cooked all the way. The last attempt resulted a few slices from the edge being ok, the next few went into a pan of broth to cook and the remainder was RAW.
