I am a stay at home mom to 2 young children. Chicken dishes and desserts are my 2 favorite things to cook/bake. I come from a large Italian family and we always have marathon meals. My grandmother usually does most of the cooking, but has passed down quite a few unique recipes that I can't wait to "master" and pass on to my children. My first Thanksgiving turkey! I was terrified of the whole giblets thing and the turkey was still partially frozen when I had to take the neck out. I was disgusted, but I got through it and the turkey came out great. Steak...so many times! There've been a few dishes that I've had to throw out completely because they were 100% inedible!
