About this Cook
I am 28, I have been married for 9 years. My husband and I have one son, Logan, who is 11 months old. I am a personal assistant part-time, and the rest of my time is spent with my son. I love to cook and try new recipes.
My favorite things to cook
My all-time favorite food is Mexican, so I love to make it as often as my husband will tolerate it. My most favorite things to cook are comfort food such as chicken and rice, meatloaf, etc.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My huband is Italian, so I have become accustomed to eating pasta about 2-3 times a week. It's such a versatile food that it's easy to experiment without too much fear of failure. My own family is definitely centered around southern cooking. My mom's country breakfast is to die for, and her home cooking is delicious!
My cooking triumphs
The thing I love to make is soups, especially in the winter time with a nice salad. I love to make all kinds of breads and desserts. Basically, I love to experiment with all types of foods. Trying new recipes is a hobby.
My cooking tragedies
When I first got married, I had never cooked, done laundry, etc.--my mother spoiled us! So, I taught myself how to cook. The first time I made my new husband spaghetti (remember, he is Italian), I forgot to drain the grease from the meat. We were eating it, and I knew it tasted funny, but my husband didn't say a word. It was much later that evening that I realized why our meal was so heavy!

Pumpkin Gingerbread
So so so delicious! Like other reviewers, I doubled my spices (except the cloves) and baked at 325 for 70 minutes. Turned out perfect!
