I've been married to the love of my life for about 2.5 years now; that is when I started to cook. At first I started out with easy pre-made things, but as I got more comfortable in the kitchen, I've changed to making as much from scratch as possible. I even planted a garden this year and have been learning to can my work :) There is no better feeling than knowing whats going into my food
My favorite things to cook
I love, love, love to bake pretty much any dessert. Its very rare for our kitchen to not have some kind of fresh cookies, cake, bread etc...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Hubby and I have been trying to start our own traditions- one is we have our familys over for a cookout for Fathers Day (the first time cooking for 20+ people was intimidating!). Another is we have my family over for Christmas Eve dinner
My cooking triumphs
Learning how to make a pumpkin roll
My cooking tragedies
hmmm..most of my attempts have been edible..oh I know- my first attempt at meat loaf was a complete failure, and I have not tried it again
