My favorite things to cook
I love having people over, so I'm often making appetizers or snacks. I love stir fry and anything using fresh vegetables. Hubby's from the south, so he loves meat and potatoes and anything fried (don't we all)!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Helping my mom make tons and tons of Christmas cookies every year. In the summer, she would make my dad buy two bushels of corn, which we'd all have to help shuck. She'd boil and freeze it for the winter. It was hot, long work, but the corn tasted amazing all year round!
My cooking tragedies
I cannot make a chess pie. It's my husband's favorite and it never sets up right for me. I also manage to mess up boiled eggs just about every time I make them. I swear, I've tried every technique. I'm just a disaster when it comes to those. It's supposed to be easy - right?
