I'm 24 and married to a wonderful husband...who will always try the new things I make...and I have 2 kids. A 7 year old son and 18 month old daughter. Being a working mom and student I always look for recipes that are quick, easy and kid friendly yet flavorful and I look for recipes that I can prepare in advance. I love to experiment with new flavors too, I hate making the same type of dishes over and over again, it's too boring. I love using my indoor grill pan and George Forman grill as well during the winter. I'm really not much of a baker, I can bake I just don't very often, I prefer to cook. My mom comes from a line of excellent cooks, many of the dishes I make are my mom's recipes or variations of them. We always had traditional home cooking and lots of baked goods when I grew up, something that my husband did not have so he loves my cooking. My steak marinade is to die for, we always end up eating way too much when I make steak becuase we just can't get enough of it! My son always asks for 'that good steak.' I always know exactly what he means. I have always loved my mom's scalloped potatoes and ham but do you think I can make it like her? No way. I tried making it just like her, followed her instructions and it was disgusting to look at, I didn't even taste it. We went out to eat that night. I also cannot make biscuits to save my life, they are always dry and/or hard as rocks. I buy refrigerated biscuits.
