I do not cook often but when I do, it takes me all day. I love to make a full meal, sides, desserts, drinks, everything. So I am usually pretty picky when it comes to picking my recipes since when I do cook I want everything perfect. favorite things to cook are new foods. I love trying new recipes. No cooking traditions but definitely getting some ready for when I have children. Chicken Cordon Bleu, Chicken Marsala, Spinach Artichoke Dip Pancakes, as easy as they seem I can never get pancakes down. Too watery one time, flavorless the next, always something wrong with them.
