I am 28 years old from Lewisville, TX. I am passionate about food and love to cook for my husband, who isn't a bad cook himself. We like to experiment with different flavors and spice blends from all origins. If you asked me about my favorite types of food, the list of foods I don't like would be a shorter story.
My favorite things to cook would have to be my pot roast, my husband's favorite turkey meatloaf, potato salad and anything having to do with a holiday or weekend Bar-B-Que.
With a busy life and unpredictable meal schedules, it's not always easy to prepare the best meal but usually the most convenient. That is why, anytime I have a chance to be with friends and family, I love cooking a great meal, having a good time and enjoying each other.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook just about anything. Breads, cookies, pies, cakes, pot roasts, greens, mac and cheese, chicken and the list goes on and on. See my recipes listed on the site and tell me what you think.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Growing up, we had holiday meal traditions for every holiday. On New years it was always black eye peas, fried potatoes and pork. On Easter, it was always a roasted ham. During the summer, most weekends consisted of a burger and hot dog. Thanksgiving always had the Turkey, dressing and a definite must have, broccoli, cheese rice casserole - oh, and the monkey bread! Christmas Eve, ALWAYS a mexican pile-on with tacos, nachos, Granny's cheese enchiladas and on Christmas Day, Fried Chicken, mashed potatoes and green beans. Oh man, I sure am hungry!
My cooking triumphs
I just recently made my husband's favorite, Apple Pie. The first time completely from scratch. He gave me a 6 on a scale from 1-10. He has also rated my potato salad as #1 and my homemade biscuits are close, but still not quite there, he says.
