I am 24, and I have a wonderful family that loves to eat! My husband and I have been together for 7 1/2 years. We have 3 great kids; Mercedes is 6 going on 16, Tyler is going to be 5 and Samantha is 8 months. I am a full time mom and student working on a nursing degree.
My favorite things to cook
We are big pasta eaters, and also meat eaters. I also like to bake and I think I am going to attempt to make my very first pie crust come this fall after our annual trip to the apple orchard.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every year at Christmas time, me and my oldest 2 children bake lots of cookies. We make some for "Santa", some to keep at home and some to take to our annual Christmas eve party. Also, on Christmas morning, I always make cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate for breakfast. Every fall after we go to the apple orchard, I make everything apple! Apple pies, Dutch apple cake, applesauce, and tons of other things!!
My cooking triumphs
One of my triumphs was when i made my first pot roast. I took it over to my mother in laws and her husband said that it was better than the first one she had ever made. Another triumph was when I made "chicken nuggets" for my picky son using cut up chicken and beef that I rolled in flour and bread crumbs and baked in my oven. He is none the wiser and its alot healthier than McDonalds!!
My cooking tragedies
I tried to make homemade macaroni and cheese... it came out stringy and gritty... I still dont know why that happened!
