I love to cook but being a full-time working mom makes it very difficult to explore and create the kinds of dishes I would like. I tend to go all-out on the weekends and holidays because of this reason. Chicken dishes and desserts. I love the holidays. I always make green bean casserole and try to make a dish that we have never had before. I watch my weight so any food that I can make healthier while still tasting great is a triumph for me. I also usually fail miserably when baking bread, so when a loaf comes out good I get very excited. Dry roasts are the worst. I avoid that now by cooking them in the crock pot. I also have never had really great success with pizza crust.
