I love to cook! I am from a large family (10 people) and I have been cooking for all of them since I was in elementary school. I love a good casserole, but I am known for bringing some new dessert to every potluck I attend. I love to try new recipes. That's why I love allrecipes.com I can type in the ingredients I have in my fridge and come up with some great new dish for dinner, lunch or a potluck. Having my mom cook the meal of my choice every birthday and making hundreds of cookies to give away every Christmas. Anything that turns out the way the picture looks. I don't know if I have had a tragedy yet, but that's because I haven't tried anything terribly hard yet. I let you know when tragedy strikes.
