I am married, mother of two boys. My youngest is 8 and my oldest is 13. My youngest wants to be a chef and my oldest has autism so is a picky eater. I live in Henderson, NV - next door to Las Vegas. My heritage is English and German, so I really love big dinners - lots of meat & potatoes! We're all trying to get healthy, so I'm trying to modify my cooking and add some new low calorie, low carb choices to my specialties. My husband loves Italian food, so I try to lump some of that in too.
My favorite things to cook
Spaghetti Carbonara, Pot Roast w/ all the trimmings, Chili, kind of a boring list!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My Mom's yorkshire pudding, bubble & squeak, shepherd's pie, german sausage, sour kraut, bean soup, pea soup, roast, etc.
My cooking triumphs
chicken chimichangas, spaghetti carbonara, mandarine cream cake, spaghetti, chicken fried pork chops, caramel popcorn, chocolate chip apple sauce cake is a big favorite
My cooking tragedies
A Chinese fiasco I made my first year of marriage. My husband refused to eat it and I cried! It was disgusting. Sometimes my yorkshire pudding is a little flat and doesn't firm up enough.
