I like to try new things.My family always says "oh no" when I try a new recipe on them.Then they are surpised when it turns out they like it. I love to make easy but fancy looking desserts. I get the most enjoyment out of family gatherings. We usually do everybody bring a dish so no one person has to work hard. We do the same thing for barbeques.It is a tradition for us at Thanksgiving to go around the prayer circle and say at least one thing we are grateful for. My mother started teaching me to cook when I was around eight years old.She is still teaching me to stretch the groceries.I was so proud of myself the first time I cooked a moist turkey for Thanksgiving without my mother's help. I cooked a roast for my inlaws one time; it was so hard and dry the dog would'nt even eat it.It was so embarassing!
