I went to school for culinary arts and decided I prefer cooking for family and friends to professionally Comfort foods and baking Every Christmas my daughters and I spend an entire Saturday baking Christmas cookies (20+ Dz.)that we eat and give out to family and friends. I enjoy passing down the same recipes that my mother used with me when I was a girl. Anytime at my dinner table when I have friends and family enjoying my food. My first attempt at making hash browns from scratch. Turned out goopy and gross. My husband (of 13 years) STILL teases me about it!
