I am a stay at home mommy of 4 and a wifey of 8 years. I love to create! I love to scrapbook, cook, decorate, inspire and be a blessing to all I meet
My favorite things to cook
Anything and everything. I love to try new recipes and test my skills in the kitchen. I love to take on recipes that seem complicated and conquer them. That give me confidence in the kitchen and inspires me to continue on
My favorite family cooking traditions
I get a great recipe....like from allrecipes.com...and give it my own spin then try it out on my family and friends....I let them know its my first so if its horrible it doesn't kill my reputation... then they tell me if its a keeper or not. I love the reactions I get.
My cooking triumphs
Wow thats a hard one cuz they all seem triumphant. But I did make my first Thanksgiving dinner on my own this past Thanksgiving with every recipe from this website. I prepared every little detail to it so I had minor things to do the day of and it went so flawless and smoothly, I could hardly believe it. The problem is I think I have a new job on Thanksgiving....:)
My cooking tragedies
I recently made some enchilada sauce and wasn't paying attention as well as I should have. It burned a little needless to say and the whole sauce took on this bitter after taste. It was so gross. Luckily I had extra ingredients on hand and was able to whip some more up in time, and believe me I payed much closer attention after that
