Married to a husband who doesn't know how to fry an egg - gives me lots of opportunity to continually grow and improve on my cooking ability!
My favorite things to cook
Always on the lookout for healthy recipes using alternative ingredients.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Nobody does roast chicken like my mom - sadly, not even me! Actually, also her chilli . . . and also her berry pies . . . and also her cream soups . . . (sigh)
My cooking triumphs
I make fabulous ice cubes. . . Well, for real, I'm known for making really good guacamole and salsa, and other appetizer-type dishes.
My cooking tragedies
I can't bake to save my life. Largely due to my diet restrictions, however. I have to substitute so many things i.e. yeast, sugar, wheat, cornstarch, milk, etc. that by the time I'm done I've created something that does not remotely resemble (or taste!) what it's supposed to.
