I am a mother of 2 beautiful baby girls - 16 mos and 4 mos. I am an Army wife of going into 3 years. Army girlfriend for 2 years. I like to try new things when I cook. I'm not as great as my mother was, God rest her soul, but I'm getting there. I learn a little every time, as I think we all do, and that's what I love about it.
My favorite things to cook
I LOVE to cook Soul Food. I make lasagna, spaghetti, fettucini alfredo(chicken and original). I'll use ceyenne pepper and chili powder in anything once, just to see how it comes out. Well, not ANYTHINHG, but you know what I mean. My husband LOVES spicy food, so I find myself experimenting with it quite often. I have a pretty varied cooking taste.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Wow. . . um, my moms lasagna, my aunts burgers and yams, my cousins mac and cheese, my other aunts hamburger - mashed potato cassarole. thanksgiving and christmas and family get togethers.
My cooking triumphs
I haven't killed anyone or made anyone sick. LOL!
My cooking tragedies
When I was like 13, I wanted to help my mom by cooking dinner and tried to deep fry a whole chicken. I still haven't lived that down. It was a pretty bad decision. It was before the real cook in me emerged so I was still working as an assistant in the kitchen.
