My favorite things to cook
Any type of dessert, but I try to avoid because I will end up eating all of it as boyfriend doesn't like sweets... Also like traditional "home cooking", italian, and experimenting with the slow cooker. Also learning to make my own sushi, which is a blast! I'm also learning to make some really tasty vegetarian dishes just for fun.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baking with my maternal grandfather, PawPaw. He's the best at cakes, pies, breads, you name it. He also taught me how to make real hot chocolate, which is probably the most valuable recipe I own :)
My cooking triumphs
My first large dinner party several years ago. I made a homemade lasagna totally from scratch (first time) and got rave reviews. There have been others, but this one stands out the most.
My cooking tragedies
Oh so many... Divinity, ugh. Such a travesty. Leaving baking soda out cake (what a flat soggy mess),
