About Me
I am a married mother of 3, married to husband of 30 years who loves my cooking. The kids are always amazed at what I can create from looking at a recipe. Unfortunately, none of them has inherited my love for cooking lol!! Hubby is also a great cook, and he is the grill master at our house - I do the marinating!!! :) I might add that I have moderate RA , rheumatoid arthritis, from which there is no cure. I am on a boatload of medicine for it, and am doing better, but that impedes me in so many ways to cook, stir, twist open jars, and then some. Thank God for my everloving husband who so graciously opens every jar I can't, stirs every dish I can't and helps to cook some things that are just too tough to cook on one's own that has this devastating disease...
My favorite things to cook
Almost anything Italian. Fish is another thing I love to cook, mostly salmon and swordfish. I also like my bread machine!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Thanksgiving and Christmas at my parents' house. I try to bring a dish to these gatherings for everyone to try.
My cooking triumphs
Taking a recipe and tweaking it to my family's satisfaction. I know all their likes and dislikes, so I use that in coming up with what I can create.
My cooking tragedies
When 9 months pregnant, I was grilling ribs on the BBQ (never did it before!) and closed the lid, they cooked too long and were burnt to a crisp. Add to that I sat down in a lawn chair to ease my pregnant swollen feet and the chair collapsed, sending me to the ground and I had a hard time getting up. It's funny now, but wasn't then lol!!
