My name is Krista, my husband and i got married on july 4th, 2008. we have two dogs (butterscotch and penelope) one cat (turbo) & a handsome, healthy baby boy named Keagan Cyle, born 11/13/09.
My favorite things to cook
I love italian food (because im italian). I love pasta and i love (tomato based) pasta sauce as long as it is home-made & never, ever, ever from a jar, but i hate the two when they are combined. Im really good at making casseroles and soups, and little things to snack on. i usually dont follow recipes extactly unless i am baking something, & i've become really good at throwing random things together to make a good meal, no recipe needed.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom's christmas cookies every year. & it never fails that i have to request at least 2-3 extra batches of cookies before christmas since i can never seem to stop eating them at just one cookie.
My cooking tragedies
Cookies. Any time i have ever tried to make cookies from scratch, they all come out awful. every single time. they are either too mushy, too burnt, too flour-y, too bland, or just gross. Im not a good cookie dough person, i suppose.
