My husband and I both work full time and I have a long commute which means we don't have a lot of time to cook dinner. I like do stuff ahead of time, pre-cut veggies etc. or cook once for 2 different meals. Desserts, brownies, cookies really anything chocolate...I also like to try different appetizers for happy hour with friends at my house. I also love making soup, usually tomato, cream soups, or soups with beans. They are just so easy, almost no clean up, and they freeze really well. We don't really have any cooking traditions in my family. My mother doesn't really enjoy cooking although she does like to make soup, maybe that's where I get it. My Grandmother had some amazing recipes. mmm...I'll think about it. I made the worst chicken pot pie ever. It was disgusting we threw the whole thing away. I've made some other pretty gross things but I always like to try new and different recipes. You never know when you’ll find one that’s phenomenal. There’s a pesto tuna recipe on this site that sounded weird, maybe a little gross but turned out to be the best tuna sandwiches we’ve ever had.
