I've never been a great cook but enjoy trying new recipes that are simple and fast yet tasty. I like to cook in the winter and slide in the hot months here in Texas. I love to bake cookies for my husband. What I love to try are new exciting desserts like biscotti, trifles, and breads of any kind.Winter is a joy for me to try all these new tastes. One pot meals are good for me. I like to cook Jambalayas and anything in the slow cooker.My favorite family thing is fryed chicken in a old cast iron skillet with mashed potatoes and pan gravey with cream corn and hot biscuits. Learning to make beautiful trifles and tiramisu that make people look twice at and taste as good as they look. Trying to fry a stewing hen when I was about 16 and couldn't understand why it was so tough. My Dad made this known many times in my life and always got a good laugh about it.
