I love to cook - and better yet - i love to eat :-D runs in my family - we are all happily a bit too chubby but loving the food and can't seem to help but love it. I've got a sweet tooth that isn't too good for me... ever read the book "candy and me" ? I loved it -- it described a bit of me and my fascination with sweets -- my husband thinks i'm a bit "sick" and that i need help -- but i think i have a normal addiction - and most people who like sweets would agree.
My favorite things to cook
1. cinnamon rolls: i've made them several different ways - pumpkin, zucchini, banana, chocolate and yes even good old regular cinnamon rolls :)
2. vegan cupcakes and other really cute miniature molten cakes or cheese cakes that are decorated really cute and special.
3. I also love to cook curries and spicy ethnic meals.
My favorite family cooking traditions
cookies
My cooking triumphs
I've finally gotten to the point where I can stroll in the front door - look through the fridge/pantry and throw together an amazing meal in 30 minutes or less and hubby is amazed every time :)
My cooking tragedies
angel food cake - once added too much water... another time baking something else - it said to add "soda" and at the time - i was very young, so i didn't know that "soda" meant "baking soda" - so what i did was open a can of pop and pour 1 tsp of 7up into the mix... pretty funny looking back at that minor error :-) ha ha
