I would love to open a bakery one day. If you've ever heard of Sprinkles in Los angeles, thats my dream!
My favorite things to cook
Cupcakes, cookies, bars, cakes, pasta, peach chicken, and my next goal is to make a cheesecake from scratch.
My favorite family cooking traditions
The turkey soup my mother makes every thanksgiving with leftovers. She will hand the reciepe down to me this year when I help with the cooking for my first time.
My cooking triumphs
The peach chicken I made to impress a past boyfriends parents. They raved about it. Also the cornbread & sweet tea I made for friends in California. And my famous pumpkin cookies I make every fall & the 4th of July cake has become my personal tradition for the past 3 years.
My cooking tragedies
When I was 6 , trying to impress my mother I attempted 'Peanut butter cookies' by scooping peanut butter on to cookie sheets and putting them in the oven. :) I have not been able to perfect brownies, and made an awful dessert last christmas ; Chocolate raspberry bars. Not technically my fault, as I followed the recipe, it was horrible b/c it was my entry for our church bake-off, that my mother wins every single year. If you have any amazing dessert recipes please share so maybe one day I can at least challenge her! :)
