I'm the mother of four daughters and cook dinner 4 to 6 times a week, my older girls love to cook also. I am an administrative assistant and work 9-5 job so I am pretty busy.
My favorite things to cook
Enchiladas, fideo, grilled italian sausage and chicken fried steak@
My favorite family cooking traditions
My grandfather's carmel-pecan icing on a three layer white cake, his Christmas blessing, no ones attempted since his passing. My mom's yeast rolls and pie crusts are amazing and I love my "make up Monday's" with my kids, we just stir up something no recipe just ideas, and usually its great.
My cooking triumphs
Learning Thai Hot and cold sesame noodles and spicy chicken lettuce wraps AND creamcheese stuffed wontons> my husbands new fave and we have this on our take-in night every couple of weeks now while the kids eat corny dogs and watch disney in the den!
My cooking tragedies
While I was pregnant with my baby, Kalliope, I could not bake ANYthing to save my life! My Christmas baking 2005 was a lost cause.
