Hello, I'm 50 and divorced twenty-plus years. One son and one granddaughter.
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake-pies and bread! When I need a pat on the back I prepare a goulash recipe I got off the back of a pasta pkg (my son loves it!)
My favorite family cooking traditions
Of course Thanksgiving with all the works. My family has the turkey (some years ham also), dressing, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean dish, fresh salad or fresh veggies with a dip, rolls, a cranberry dish, cherry, mincemeat and pumpkin pies. Some years I stay home and fix the whole meal, and sometimes I take a special dish to a large family gathering. This is my favorite holiday!!!
My cooking triumphs
A Thanksgiving Pumpkin Trifle that everyone loved.
My cooking tragedies
A couple of loaves of yeast bread.
