I am married and have 5 children - all teenagers. I work for the American Red Cross and have very little time for myself or to spend in the kitchen with complicated recipes. With so many to feed and so little time, I am always looking for easy first, quick or slow cooker, next with few ingredients. I am also a brittle diabetic so I limit the number of sugar desserts around the house and attempt to alter sugar recipes to make sugar free and tasty recipes.
My favorite things to cook
comfort, feel good, and tasty dinners - meals that "stick to the bones"
chocolate goodies that make others feel good
My favorite family cooking traditions
Secret sausage gravy recipe
my banana pudding both regular and sugar free are to die for
monkey bread
crockpot cooking
My cooking triumphs
all of the above traditions

My cooking tragedies
sugar free chess pies
fried chicken. I've tried many recipes but I just can't seem to get it right.
