I am a mom to two girls and I stay at home to take care of them and the house. That means lots of time to go to the grocery store and search for specialty items or foods. I am fascinated by all the different ways to cook foods, and the really cool kitchen gadgets that I'd love to own.
I love learning new things. I don't mind spending time making food taste good, but easy recipes that taste great are the best.
My favorite things to cook
Tacos with homemade salsa. Tastes so good, and I just can't get enough. I also really enjoy venturing into the world of stir fry. Chicken Vicious and Chicken Honey Nut Stir Fry are both awesome!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Since my husband's career doesn't always allow us to go home for the holidays, my favorite tradition has become our Thanksgiving meal. I cook up the whole Thanksgiving dinner including only the foods that the two of us enjoy, turkey included, on whatever day he can be home to celebrate.
My cooking triumphs
A complete, fabulous Turkey dinner for Thanksgiving.
My cooking tragedies
Usually any baking recipes. I prefer to cook meals instead of bake breads or cookies or whatnot. I just can't seem to get them to come out right.
