I am a mom to two young boys,a graduate student, a freelance writer, and a wife. My biggest cooking challenge is making healthy meals that appeal to my sons.
My favorite things to cook
Chili, soup, slow cooker meals, desserts (especially baked goods), panini, hummus
My favorite family cooking traditions
Baking cookies and treats during the winter holidays.
My cooking triumphs
Anything that my kids and husband like enough to ask for seconds. My chili recipe has been published.
My cooking tragedies
A sad slow cooker recipe involving smoked sausage and pineapple... nasty, nasty, nasty
