I'm 27, a stay-at-home of a beautiful 17 month old girl named Lily and a soon to be ccllege student. My husband, curt, is in Kuwait right now. He'll be there for around a year. Hopefully we'll be going back to texas when he returns, but we'll see.
My favorite things to cook
I looooove making desserts. Cheesecake is my favorite. Butter pecan, maple pecan, turtle, mocha, vanilla bean. Like I said Im from texas so nything with pecan or super sweet. My fried chicken is superb Im told. I do it very traditional with mashed potatoes and cream gravy. I also like making honey soy chicken with white rice but I think I like eating more than making it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Like everyones: Thanksgiving.
My cooking triumphs
My husband came home from work one day around five and said he had invited a few friends over for poker. About an hour later 15 guys showed up, and two hours later they were all drunk and hungry. So and friend and I started cooking. We made fried chicken potatoes gravy and cookies. Everyone was full and happy by the end of it all and I had a horrific mess to clean up. Curt still hears how lucky he is that I can cook things like that.
My cooking tragedies
The first thanksgiving we ever cooked on our own as a married couple, it was just the two of us so it was a turkey breast, rolls and mac and cheese that i made in the crockpot. i had never heard or made mac and cheese in a crockpot before, so i was a little nervous. apparently i had a right to be, because we ended up eating rolls and turkey. i still want to make crockpot mac and cheese.
