I'm a new transplant to Wyoming and a little nervous about learning a new stove and oven! I'm new to regular cooking and baking but I've been really enjoying it and don't plan on stopping anytime soon :D I've been keeping things pretty basic but I'd love to try something fancy someday - like a complicated breakfast or some sort or roast something :D Cookies, for sure! I sometimes make a bit of a mess but I really enjoy the process - and the outcome!! My grandmother was an awesome cook. Anything she made was amazing. I don't have any traditions per-se as I don't come from a traditional family - with the exception of the grandmother who could cook up a Delicious storm :) My husband raves about my Mudslide cookies (though they aren't my personal recipe) - They are quite strong for me but he has no problem picking up the slack! Oh. Oh my. I've screwed up plenty, but I'm doing so much better, so let's just look forward, yes? :D
