I like to experiment with new recipes. I recently made acorn squash risotto for the first time. It was a smash with my entire family who were visiting over Thanksgiving.
My favorite things to cook
I don't have a hands down favorite but right now I am learning to grill more than just burgers. It's nice to sit down to homemade fajitas that taste just like they were from a restaurant.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas brunch. We open presents and then sit down to the most wonderful array of foods. It is everyone's favorite meal of the year.
My cooking triumphs
Thanksgiving dinner for 15 people. I know, I know, Turkey is easy to make but it's intimidating when you have never done it before. My family loved it and now I host Thanksgiving almost ever year.
My cooking tragedies
We were moving and didn't have much food in the cooler. I threw some chicken and stuff together. It was green and tasted horrible. We went out for dinner that night.
