I have always liked to bake, but now I am really enjoying cooking! I like simple easy and tasty recipes that don't call for special 1 time use items. Everyday cooking is for me!
My favorite things to cook
I enjoy cooking things for my husband. He likes to cook too but doesn't follow a recipe, or write down what he makes which is a tragedy when it is something really good!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Chocolate pinwheel candy at christmas time, Mom makes it the best!
My cooking triumphs
The day I made my first corned beef and it was so nice and tasty, it melted in your mouth. What was even better was after we came back from my in-laws my husband said "Your corned beef is better than my mothers" That felt sooooo good!
My cooking tragedies
I have very little patience so if something goes wrong I get a bit, um testy, mad, angry. But one thing that did go terribly wrong and was so simple was garlic bread. If you remember back a few years there was a commercial about the 12 days of turkey and the like "flaming turkey wings" well I had flaming garlic bread. That story still haunts me when anyone wants garlic bread. I offer that job to anyone else! (Darn broiler!)
