I have the top two taste testers in the state of Missouri living in my house, my kids. I love to cook and my kids give me the yay and nay on recipe keepers. We have created our own cookbook of favorites so that they will have a good start of recipes when they grow up and are on their own. We love to cook chinese food. It is very time consuming so it makes great family time together. My kids favorite part of it is making the crab rangoons, of course the best part is licking the cream cheese mixture off of their fingers :o) Our favorite tradition is Christmas Eve dinner at our house. We cook crab legs and loaded baked potatoes every year on Christmas Eve. We have crab leg shells and butter from floor to ceiling after it's all said and done, but no other meal gives us that many giggles and smiles like this one. What? All of them are triumphs ! Fortunatly, I have not yet had a tragedy....yet....I'm sure my day will come though.
