I'm a mother of two boys with two different eating habits! Shaun (10) will only eat a few select things & won't try anything new and Jacob (7) will try anything and usually loves it and eats it ALL! I was raised in the kitchen and very thankful for that! :) I've had a very stressful time these past couple years and cooking has always taken my mind off the problems!
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake anything! Sweets are a godsend...I thank the lord that my intake doesn't store itself in my butt! lol I've just recently gotten addicted to a slow cooker that was given to me so I'm always looking for good recipes for it!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother is from Germany and we would go there to visit family every other year when I was growing up. The food was out of this world! We are always trying to find products here that are close to the ones over there and making dishes my Oma made! We get really excited when we find the actual product!
My cooking triumphs
I can find whatever I have in the house and turning it into something so good I surprise myself! lol
My cooking tragedies
I have a horrible time frying chicken on the stove! It's either burnt or not done!! I've given up! Also I'm used to gas stoves and I've recently moved so now I'm stuck with an electric stove so I'm not yet use to what temp I should set it at or how much time to cut to make the food just right!
