My favorite things to cook
Stuffed Shells, Something new that I come up with is quickly becoming a favorite as I learn more and more about flavors and what I can play with putting together.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My Aunt makes the family spaghetti. I tried for days to recreate it and finally broke down and called her, it's so easy but better than anyone else can make!
My cooking triumphs
Making dinner for my husband and I for the first time-it was the first time I cooked, ever!
Starting to learn to cook things without relying on recipes, and altering recipes successfully
My cooking tragedies
First time I tried to cook without a recipe and just throw things together, piece of beef, refried beans, pineapple salsa and cheese all baked for a little while...horrible, but the dog loved it!
While making my own rendition of a stuffed chicken breast wrapped in bacon broiled in the oven recipe, I caught the oven on fire. The chicken was excellent though!
