Living in Seattle, with two dogs and a sweet man. We enjoy cooking together and plan 80% of our meals with All Recipes contributions.
My favorite things to cook
Recipes with zest, literally: orange, lemon, etc. and recipes that use fresh herbs from the front or back yard (basil, terragon, rosemary, lavendar, chocolate mint). But I like to eat anything fried...
My favorite family cooking traditions
Southern casseroles, steak night, tomato sandwiches, sunday pot roast, triple-decker pineapple sandwiches, peach cobbler, sweet potato souffle, green bean casserole, biscuits. Now I'm hungry.
My cooking triumphs
Apple pie (w/homemade crust), zucchini brownies, and winter roasted veggies with chicken (a dinner party classic).
My cooking tragedies
Never being able to replicate my grandmother's homemade buttermilk biscuits, even when she stood beside me and talked me through it. I'm missing the x-factor, her personal biscuit magic.
