I grew up within a large family- Granparents', aunts, uncles, cousins, my brothers and my parents... We all cook and when we have a family gathering it isn't just one person cooking, we all chip in and help. I have been taught to enjoy cooking, and to experiment with the boundaries in the kitchen.. nothing is too complicated.
My favorite things to cook
Cheesecake, and anything new.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Mama's Stroganoff, Polish Meatloaf, Sunday morning Plutzka's after Mass(A Polish doughnut), coffee cakes made for the holidays, my brothers Potato Soup, Greatma's Mint Jelly, Papa's seasoning salt, Mama's Mac & Cheese, Hot Chocolate, Mama's Spaghetti, roast slow cooked with mushroom & onion soup.
My cooking triumphs
Successfully made my bro's London Broil recipe without a hitch!
My cooking tragedies
Pumpkin Soup.
