My favorite things to cook
Learning how to make my favorite recipes lower in fat.
Trying new recipes, to liven up turkey and chicken.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making a special meal for each holiday like my mom used to do.
My cooking triumphs
1) Made the Crustless Pumpkin Pie for Thanksgiving Dessert in 2008, my family loved it, and wanted more. I altered the recipe slightly by using only lower fat ingredients, and wheat flour.
2) Oven roasted my first turkey bird Thanksgiving 2009, and it came out beautifully thanks to the tips my fellow Allrecipes cooks.
