My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom's famous perogies, baked zucchini & yams - I remember watching her prepare these fam-faves at holidays. Traditionally we roast fresh pumpkin seeds with spices at Hallowe'en after carving our pumpkins on the kitchen table! I loved watching my older brother and grandma bake fresh pies at the cottage with the berries and rhubarb we'd just picked...when I smell fresh pies baking it always makes me cheerful :)
My cooking triumphs
My famous chocolate chip banana bread :) Its so delicious my co-workers and friends bring me bananas so I can stock up and bake a batch for them. A local juice shop owner in the village even offered to buy my recipe or have me deliver it to them fresh weekly!
