We're about to move into our brand new house!! Yay!! Can't wait to get into that new kitchen and do my thing! Earlier this year, we traveled to Germany to visit family for a few months. I loved being there and trying the food! I want to try out some German recipes from Allrecipes as soon as we get into our new house. I love to cook and bake. I love trying new recipes from Allrecipes! Lately, I've been trying a new recipe most nights of the week. I hardly ever use cookbooks anymore, although I do still love looking at them. I enjoy learning about health and nutrition..sometimes that is reflected in my cooking, sometimes not! (My username used to be Mitch103, so you may see a recipe or two under that name. ;) ) I lived in Spain for 9 years growing up and attended school on a US Navy base there. Therefore, I have no hometown. ;) I love to bake. I love making cookies, brownies, special cakes, and other fun desserts. In my baked goods, I usually replace at least some of the white flour with whole wheat. Usually you can't even tell- if anything, stuff tastes better! I also make a lot of chicken dishes. I am always on the lookout for my next one! I also love making (and eating!) cheesecakes. My mom makes a great Thanksgiving dinner. We're never together on Thanksgiving, but I carry on the tradition of her great food, throwing in my own specialties of course! My little family is having fun creating new traditions, mixing the old and the new. I'm trying to master yeast breads and still have a lot to learn. It's a good feeling to have a loaf of bread you've made with your own two hands. I've also recently tackled making fudge. Anything that turns out well and is delicious is a triumph. Only that I haven't had my "own" kitchen for a few months!
