I love trying new recipes, but I love cooking anything easy! Our cooking traditions are very classic - huge meals for the holidays, baking cookies, and pitch-ins in the summer. I have yet to have any profound cooking triumphs. I once baked a pecan pie for my father. I thought I followed the recipe correctly, and when I took it out of the oven it looked absolutely gorgeous. However, when we cut into the pie, it was a drippy, liquid mess! I was so embarrassed.
