I am 25 years old and from the great state of TX. I am married to my very best friend, who thinks my cooking is better than his moms. We dont get to sit down as often for full meals as we like since DH is in Med school, and most his life is spent in a library studying. All his meals have to be quick and easy or leftovers. But I still like to try new things to cook whenever possible. I have a boxer named Glitter, and hopefully within the year we will get to have another addition.... I LOVE cooking, and I find it theraputic in a way. I get so much satisfaction when I cook something amazing. I have probably gained 20 pounds since discovering this site a couple years ago....lol. I love soup. I could eat it all day. But I love to make pretty much everything from coleslaw to stake to cake....It all depends on my mood. I dont really have a favorite. We dont really have a family tradition except at thanksgiving. My moms stuffing is kind of a tradition since we have have had it every year since I can remember. Making my first homeade rolls that actually turned out how they were ment to. They were so good! nothing too tragic yet.
