I have two boys and a very tall husband. I love to cook, but will bake cookies or cakes given any opportunity. My favorite memory of my childhood is walking into the house after a long walk home from school and discovering freshly baked chocolate chip cookies waiting for me...along with my mom, sipping her tea.
My favorite things to cook
Cookies, cakes, pies, muffins, oh, and some healthy stuff!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love sweet potato balls with marshmallows inside! They remind me of my mom and granny.
My cooking triumphs
One Christmas, when my oldest son was just a baby, I was responsible for Christmas Dinner dessert. I chose the cover recipe from Bon Appetit, and it turned out FLAWLESS! I knew I was pretty handy in the kitchen, but that torte cemented my reputation in my husband's family as "The Baker".
My cooking tragedies
Hmmm...haven't really had one. Will think about it and see if I can remember one. I tend to block out this kind of thing.
