I am 23 years old and have been cooking since I can remember. I am from the South so we learn at an early age to cook, clean and take care of things around the house. I was in the Air Force for four years where I cooked my first Thanksgiving dinner all by myself and to my surprise it came out just like Momma and Grammie make it. Now, I live in California and collect aprons and cookbooks. -Breakfast burritos -Cabbage rolls -Any pasta dish Thanksgiving is one of my favorite family cooking traditions. When the girls in the family first started helping the women, we were only allowed to break bread for stuffing, butter rolls and slice the Cranberry Sauce. Now that we are all adults, its more of a team effort when preparing the 2 turkeys, casseroles, stuffing, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, rolls and of course my favorite, pink stuff. Christmas baking is also a favorite of mine. My momma usually makes hundreds of cookies to decorate, batches of peanut butter and chocolate fudge, multiple loaves of banana nut and poppy seed bread, and puppy chow.
