I have 2 little boys and am engaged to a wonderful man. We have a dog and cat and live right on the river. My fiance owns a construction business and I am a stay at home mom and am working on my bachelors degree in anthropology. I'm so lucky to have a wonderful family and to be able to spend so much time with them while going to school for something I love. I am truly blessed.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake. Pies and cookies or bars are some of my favorite things to bake. I also enjoy making cookies with my boys. We make different cookies for every holiday and I have some pretty neat recipes I am planning on posting.My boys also like helping to prepare meals such as beef stew and pheasant ala king with bread cups. And of course we make grilled cheese sandwiches, Mac & cheese, and spaghetti.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family is German so many of the traditional foods we make are too. Noodles & potatoes, knoephla soup, chicken & dumplungs, and fry bread are some family favorites. Also we live in a rural area with wonderful hunting and fishing so we eat a lot of wild game and fish.
My cooking triumphs
Everyone loves my spinach lasagna, green bean casserole,venison stew, spinach dip, pheasant ala king, blueberry cheesecake, cream cheese bars, strawberry rhubarb crisp, pumpkin pie, and apple dumplings.
My cooking tragedies
I once made molasses cookies that were so bad the dog wouldn't eat them! I also started a fire melting chocolate for chocolate dipped strawberries because my baby woke up and I walked off to get him and forgot all about it!
