I have one daughter who is a very picky eater! I just really started trying harder with my cooking. My husband is definately happier with dinnertime! I grew up on a farm in a small town. We didn't have fast foods and nice restaurants. We ate what Mom put on the table! My husband and I have been married 8 years. I love to cook, read and scrapbook! I love to cook a lot of red sauce dishes such as spaghetti and meatballs from Rachel Ray's recipes. I LOVE to bake. Some of my favorite goodies are texas sheet cake brownies, chocolate pound cake, peanut butter cookies and all different muffins! We don't have many traditions. I just remember my mom always baking good things in the kitchen. I remember when we would go to grandma's house we would either get roast or goulash. We would joke about it in the car ride there. I have a few cooking triumphs. When I mastered cooking Rachel Rays meatballs and would see my husband so happy to be eating them. I just did my first good roast the other night. I almost gave up on trying to cook a roast. Oh the tragedies of my cooking! I don't remember any in particular but I remember the feeling of the tragedies. When we first got married it was Macaroni and Hamburger Helper. I can't stomach the taste any more.
