I'm on the look out for quick and easy meals that taste good and don't take long or involve a large amount of work. But then, aren't we all? :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother makes these awesome Bierocks, a german food tradition that is a bread pocket filled with hamburger, onion, cabbage and sometimes cheese. They're incredible, and when I learned to make them I was a happy girl. :-) I also love her simple mac and cheese from scratch, her pizza, and her spaghetti. Mmmm!!!
My cooking triumphs
When I make 7 layer Dip or Artichoke Dip for parties, people rave! It makes me feel confident about my cooking skills.
My cooking tragedies
i have concentration problems when I make lasagna. I always forget to layer SOMETHING. One time I forgot to add the shredded cheese, but I was able to rectify it by picking up the noodle layers and sliding it underneath. (messy, but effective) Then the next time, I forgot to add the noodles! It ended up being "cheesy meat" with sauce. :-/ I'm going to keep trying, and eventually I might get it right, consistently!!! :-)
