My favorite things to cook
Loaded Potato Soup, Triple Berry Shortcake, Fried Ice Cream, Tortillas, Homeade Lasanga and MUD!!! I like to experiment and try new dishes... so I'm open to cooking pretty much anything (although, I don't have the heart to ever steam "fresh" lobster again)!
My favorite family cooking traditions
I was raised in the south, so my family has a long standing history of traditional southern dishes. While some of them aren't typically my favorite, we are prized on Homeade Macaroni & Cheese, Dressing (Stuffing for those that may not know what that is) and Sweet Potato Souffle!
My cooking triumphs
My homeade lasanga is the best! Not for the calorie conscious... it is over flowing with italian sausage and dripping with three different kinds of cheeses. It is a true Italian dish... just be ready to hit the treadmill afterwards.
My cooking tragedies
Salty Pork Chops! I had just started using Meat Tenderizer and neglected to realize that it is to be used in the place of salt. Well, I seasoned my pork chops with the tenderizer AND salt, sat down to a beautiful dish of golden brown, fried pork chops... one bite, and my mouth burned from all of the salt!
What's this?
