I am a 23 year old stay at home mom on a diet. LOL. I have an unstoppable urge to back everything while I am on a diet so everyone around me ends up getting loads of food. I like to cook things with my son. He is the greatest. He is 2, and loves to work with me in the kitchen. I love it. I love to cook. I have been cooking since I was 4 with my grandma, so I guess it's just going to run through the family with my son.
My favorite things to cook
I am allergic to beef and seafood, so I am always looking for different ways to make chicken or vegetable dishes. I love food, I love to make it, small it, taste it and share it. So pretty much all food is my favorite to cook.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I always cooked with my grandmother. My first memory of it is when I was 4 and I was standing at the stove stirring some green beans. I think that I want to start my son in the tradition of cooking from a young age like my grandmother did with me.
My cooking triumphs
Cake. I love to make cakes for friends. The one I am always asked to make is a 3 layer, triple chocolate rum cake, with chocolate folds in the icing and drizzled with white chocolate and raspberries. YUMMM!!!!!
My cooking tragedies
Anything that has to do with meatloaf!
