I've always enjoyed cooking. I'm not great at coming up with new recipes, but I can sniff out a good recipe by reading it. By far All Recipes is my favorite go-to site. I also subscribe to Bon Appetite and Every Day with Rachel Ray. Outside of cooking I love to run (5ks, 10ks, and half marathons), weight-train (compete in Figure), Ski, Golf, Read, Photography, and enjoy the outdoors. I'm always the friend with the camera. I'm active in my church and cherish my small family.
My favorite things to cook
I love to try new recipes I find on All Recipes with 4 stars or higher. I can rest assured that it will turn out. I try and spoil my little family with flavorful, yummy recipes!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I feel most connected with my mom when I cook German food. I love making Ham & Glays (?), Spaetzle, Saurkraut, and Big Pancakes. These are all foods my mom made for me when growing up.
My cooking triumphs
All bread puddings.
My cooking tragedies
I recently followed a recipe shown in an ad, and it called for way toooo much cinnamon. The end result was disgusting. Such a waste. We had to throw it out.
