US Navy Culinary Specialist 8 years, love to cook at work, I dont do that too much anymore, but really at home, meals taste better for four rather than 4000, you can put love into home cooked meals.
My favorite things to cook
Comfort foods that my family loves like macaroni and cheese, chilli, lasagna, spaghetti, ham, roast, fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy..you know not so healthy. Being in the military I try to balance healthy meals with the foods my family loves ao I stick these foods in mostly on the weekends and try to bake and grill during the week.My family loves roasted chicken so I can get away with that and stay on the healthy track.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We are building that now, I keep my kids in the kitchen with me and my son (8) wants to be a chef already, so far they love to make desserts.
My cooking triumphs
Moving to the south and mastering the southern foods my husband loves, my best.. dressing, the real kind made with cornbread and chicken, it came out perfect I lied and said I made it before, but once eveyone ate it and loved it I told them it was my first time. It came out perfect!
My cooking tragedies
Too many too count, baking is not my strength in the kitchen.
