I really enjoy preparing new recipes for my family and friends. Appetizers and desserts! As for meals, I tend to make a lot pork and chicken. I'm still developing some of my own. For now though, I make cookies every Christmas. We also host Christmas every year for our entire family. There's been a lot of recipes from this site that I've been successful at - I'm not sure that makes it a 'triumph' though! :) Nothing too severe...more or less just making dishes that aren't a big hit at my house.
