I'm in my mid twenties and I have a 5 yr old daughter and a wonderful bf. I absolutely love to cook for my family because it makes me feel good when they eat healthy, yummy meals. We also love to eat and we aren't too picky!
My favorite things to cook
Cooking is hands-down my new favorite hobby. I'm always searching for new recipes to try. I enjoy cooking hearty, healthy foods using fresh ingredients. I've been cooking a new homemade soup each week. I also like to use the slow cooker during the colder months. I love making Mexican Lasagna and Southwestern Vegetarian Pasta from this site. I also love baking homemade cookies, pies, and cornbread.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I'll always have fond memories of making homemade gnocchi with my dad's family. Soooo delicious, not to mention fun!
My cooking triumphs
I baked a perfect sweet potato pie for Thanksgiving:)
My cooking tragedies
When I first started cooking when my daughter was a baby, I managed to ruin pasta (!) and had a tendency to overcook meat. I'm pleased to say that I no longer make those mistakes. My bf says he loves everything I cook or bake for him.
