I love to cook, but I tend to cook half fresh ingredients half boxed ingredients. I am trying to get out of that and this site has helped a lot with that. I love to cook on the grill. My favorite is steak and vegetables. I enjoy cooking on a gas or charcoal grill. I haven't really gotten into the smoker yet, but that is my next goal. I don't really have a "tradition". Growing up, my family cooked the same things over and over again. Which consisted of meat and potatoes. Watching the food network and cooking with this website was what really extended my taste buds. Learning how to grill! I was terrified of the grill, but my husband started traveling and I missed the grilled food so much that I decided that I was going to figure it out. Baking. I had to throw away three pots one time trying to make rice crispy treats.
