I've found this site to be a great source for any possible recipe. I have been cooking for a few years and realized recently it is more of a hobby than a chore for me. Due to my schedule I generally cook only on the weekends. It is a self rewarding experience when something I cook comes out well and others enjoy eating it. Aside from cooking I like Ferraris haha bu.
My favorite things to cook
All different... Generally my favorite things are those which I haven't tried cooking before, or something I am cooking for the second time that I know will come out better than the first time. I like using the slowcooker, and specifically keep my eye out on dishes that look ordinairy, but have that extra uniqueness in taste whether it's because of using one special ingredient or a blend of ingredients which makes the overall meal stand out from the ordinairy.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I am always on the side of using fresh ingredients and so you will rarely find me rating recipes that call for processed foods; ex. mashed potatos out of the box, even though they taste ok it's just not my thing..
My cooking triumphs
When others like what I cooked for them. I just do it for fun around the house. It is a very theraputic way for me to get away from everyday busy life.
My cooking tragedies
I added 1/2 cup of dry oregano instead of fresh and was left with oregano soup.
