I'm a SAHM farmer's wife to 4 awesome kids, married to the love of my life for 13+ years.
My favorite things to cook
Anything that is quick & easy, healthy (most of the time) and constitutes as "comfort food". I don't ask for much! :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love being in the kitchen with my kids (some days!) and having my entire family to my home for special occasion dinners (birthdays, holidays, etc.) is always a treat. It seems like we almost always have the same things, but are not afraid to throw a new recipe into the mix every once in a while.
My cooking triumphs
I love to mega-cook. I used to be more intentional about it. A girlfriend and I would get together and cook 60+ meals for our families in one day (30+ meals per family). With four kids, I'm not that organized, but still like to spend a half-day in the kitchen cooking up multiple meals that will freeze well and help me out when in a bind at meal-time for the weeks following.
My cooking tragedies
There are way too many than I can list here. :) I do wish I could cook without a recipe, but that's not me...doesn't matter if it's Duck ala Orange, Sloppy Joes or Mac & Cheese. I must have a recipe!
