I am a married mother of three children. I just love this site because it gives me lots of fun new recipes to try, which is always good when you have picky eaters in the house.
My favorite things to cook
I love to throw things together and see how they turn out. My family loves pasta so I am always experimenting with new flavours or trying to copy something we have tasted in a restaurant.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love baking dozens of different kinds of treats for Christmas. I remember my mom starting her baking at the beginning of November, and I have started to carry on that tradition now that I have my own family.
My cooking triumphs
My husband and I moved away from our families and decided to have everyone to our home for Thanksgiving. It was the first time I ever made a turkey and it turned out amazing. I was so proud that now every year I make Thanksgiving dinner for our families. I even made Christmas dinner this year 2 days before our thrid child was born.
My cooking tragedies
No matter what I can't seem to make a decent pie crust. It's not for lack of trying because I have tried every recipe I can get my hands on. Someday I'm sure I will finally get it right, so I just keep trying.
