I am a stay-at-home mama to 2 gorgeous girl's and the proud wife to an equally-gorgeous husband! I am great at soups and at stews. My favorite soup to make is my grandma's vegetarian vegetable soup and chicken soup. And my chicken salad is pretty darn tasty, too! I've also discovered that traditional foods seem to be my biggest hits, like beef stew and chicken fried steak. I love to cook with my family during the holidays. All the hustle and bustle and digging up of old family recipes- I just love it. My Christmas fudge and buttery banana bread are my best and most notable triumphs. One year, I made a citrus cake for my dad and used the wrong kind of flour, so it all fell apart after I frosted it. I was only 13 at the time so I had a lot to learn!
