I am a wife and a mom. My family lives in Kansas and we enjoy "home cookin" and also like to try new things! Some of my other hobbies include scrapbooking and reading. One of my favorite meals to prepare is spaghetti, it is fast and delicious. I also enjoy having cincinnati style chili five way! I always make enough for leftovers! My favorite family cooking tradition is something that my mom did to make her chicken and noodles special. My mom never followed the recipe to make homemade noodles "correctly". She always rolled out the noodle dough thick so that when the noodles cooked they were thick like dumplings, they are delicious! I think that my cooking triumphs would be the ability to try new recipes all the time and be able to understand how to change them to fit our tastes.
