The first food I even made myself were chocolate chip cookies and I've been playing in the kitchen ever since. It's my goal to someday perfect making homemade bread and to finish typing my own cook book full of all my personal favorite recipes.
My favorite things to cook
I love making anything for the people I love. My dad loves my chocolate chip cookies and my whole family loves when I make my special Zesty Chicken Wings.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandmother always has to make me her special green beans every year for thanksgiving and whenever she cooks when we come over.
I also love making fudge every year with my mom for Christmas.
My cooking triumphs
When I finally figured out the perfect method for making homemade chocolate chip cookies. The taste, texture, and look is perfect.
My cooking tragedies
I have never been able to bake bread. One time when giving it another try I accidentally put in 2 tablespoons of salt instead of 2 teaspoons.
Another time I had a faulty gingerbread recipe because they were so bad the dogs wouldn't even eat them.
