Love to cook, Love to eat, Love to try new recipes.
My favorite things to cook
Lasagna from scratch a.k.a. no spaghetti sauce. Broccoli cheese casserole from an old family recipe. I love to bake ANYTHING!!!! Cooking or baking anything with my Mom, she taught me how to cook and we still find inspiration to try new things.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Making sugar cookies for christmas with my Mom has always been my favorite tradition. As well as our oldest tradition.
However trying new things and hanging out while we make them is our new favorite past time now that I can comprehend the art of cooking.
My cooking triumphs
When I was a little girl learning to bake things. When I was a teen making dinner on the rare occasion that Mom was working late. When I was in college making all my meals from a coffee pot and a microwave. (its harder than you think!) When I got married cooking tasty meals for my husband. And my latest and greatest triumph was finally getting my Kitchen Aid stand mixer!!!
My cooking tragedies
The first time I tried to make taco's (as a teen my first time cooking for Mom). And just today trying a shortcake recipe... only a tragedy because the directions were fuzzy, so was I, and I was expecting something different.
