I'm 46 year's young with a wonderful husband, two boys ages 25 and 23, and one daughter age 16. I have two really cute grandsons.
My favorite things to cook
Well, I love to bake. I prefer bar cookies as I don't really have the patience to drop cookies one at a time. Also, I love to make Italian food and try new salad recipes. Breakfast foods are really fun to make also. I am experimenting with healthier diabetic and heart healthy recipes.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My family loves my deviled eggs and salad called "good stuff" that is really more like a dessert so I get asked to bring those a lot to holiday dinners.
My cooking triumphs
I love to make breakfast! My family really likes my pancakes with fresh blueberries and raspberries.
I have discovered ground turkey! I tried it several times in the past and always went back to ground beef. It's wonderful! Don't know what changed, but sure like it now.
My cooking tragedies
I have only made one cheesecake from scratch in my life for my husband's birthday. I baked it so long that it was like shoe leather! Someday, I will try my hand at another one.
