I just got married and currently am a stay at home wife. I just moved 1800 miles and am trying to find my way in this new life. My husband is in the military and is a pretty picky eater when it comes to vegetables. I have been trying to find a balance of healthy foods while trying to get my husband to eat more veggies.
My favorite things to cook
I love cooking all kinds of cuisines. I try and stick to the healthy side of things and don't add a lot of oils or salt to my recipes. I love stir frys and anything with Mexican flavour. I am still learning and am really only comfortable using a recipe, I have started experimenting with substitutions and making things up with what I have on hand. so far so good!
I love baking and making cakes and cookies as well.
My favorite family cooking traditions
it's not so much a cooking thing, but I love having a nice sunday dinner. It doesn't have to be fancy but just the act of getting together with family and having a nice sit down meal is something I cherish.
My cooking triumphs
I made spanikopita triangles for a christmas party a couple of years ago and they turned out amazing! It was my first time working with phylo so I was happy that it turned out!
My cooking tragedies
ha ha, since I am still learning it seems like there has been a lot. The other day I made salmon and didn't put the rice on at the right time so it wasn't done until about 20 minutes after the fish.
