I am a newly wed, married to the love of my life. I didnt know how to cook much before meeting my husband, and because of my great love for food and him - Ive thrown myself into the kitchen, trying to come up w/ something healthy and tasty each night. My goals are to keep our current oven without blowing it up (as i did the last one! LONG STORY), to not over melt the butter in the microwave, and to try and find my husbands filet knife which disappeared suddenly after trying to cook him fresh samon. LOL... My favorite things to cook have to be anything that makes my husband happy. I love to cook for him, and for my guests when we have company. I love to bring smiles to there faces, knowing that i contributed a little bite of joy to there lives. But if i had to choose one thing that made me happier than others it would be my mothers banana bread recipe. My cooking triumphs would be making meatloaf and it actually tasted better than my mother n laws. PRAISE GOD!!! GGGGggggrrrr My cooking tragedies is the 1200 times I cooked the dang meatloaf and it DIDNT taste like my mother n laws.
