My favorite things to cook
I love to get my hands in bread dough. Also making pies. They are some of my favorite desserts. Those two things are dangerous for me to have around. I also like making soups in the winter.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I enjoy planning meals for the holidays and sharing recipes with my daughters.
My cooking triumphs
Most recently I created my own recipe for peanut butter ice cream. I took it to a barbecue and was a little nervous because no one seemed excited about it, until they tasted it. It was a hit and several people asked for my recipe.
My cooking tragedies
One that comes to mind is when I was doing a stir-fry and mistakenly added baking soda instead of cornstarch. Not a pleasant experience! That's only one of many but that's how you learn.
