I am self employed and have the luxury of working at home, while raising my 15 month old daughter. I love finding new dishes that she and my husband will enjoy.
My favorite things to cook
Don't get me wrong, I LOVE fattening, savory dishes. The problem is that my butt and thighs don't agree. I busted my butt (literally) to get the baby weight (and then some) off of me and now I have to maintain by eating healthy, low cal, lower fat, high fiber meals during the week. I tend to indulge in my savory dishes on the weekends!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom rarely cooked when I was growing up. She had a handful of meals that she'd put together but they weren't anything special.....except for one. Her "creamed eggs on toast". The best breakfast ever! That breakfast alone, made me want to cook on a more regular basis, so that my daughter could enjoy growing up with some yummy dishes.
My cooking triumphs
So far, I'm really great at COOKING, but haven't developed many of my own recipes. I've only got a handful that I've created, but I get compliments on them all the time.
My cooking tragedies
My first attempt at my mom's "creamed eggs on toast". I mistakenly used garlic powder instead of onion powder. HUGE mistake.
