I have two of the cutest little boys anyone has ever seen!
My favorite things to cook
I mostly cook desserts. I'm terrible about having cakes or cookies or something laying around and it's ruining my diet! :) I've been doing more with attempting gourmet dishes for my hubby and trying to stay away from my wonderful desserts.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I remember growing up and helping my mom cook everything from a batch of cookies to a full-fledged 7-course meal
My cooking tragedies
When my ex-husband and I were first dating, I wanted to show off my wonderful cooking skills. I made him a chocolate no-bake cheesecake. I wasn't paying attention and put twice the butter in. It never set up so he got chocolate soup instead. Then, when we first got married, we had just moved in to our first apartment and for some reason, our microwave and cookware were all in the last truckload. So, for our first night together, I wanted to make my new hubby something for dinner and all I could find a box of mac-and-cheese. I made the terrible mistake of thinking I could cook it in my crock pot! It was awful.
