Favorite things to cook:
Right now I keep it pretty simple. In the summer I use crock pot recipes a lot to keep the kitchen cool.

Family cooking traditions:
Now that my daughter is 4, our new tradition is to make cookies for Daddy. We spend an afternoon each month looking for a recipe, getting out the ingredients, measuring, mixing, and baking. We also make pancakes on Sunday mornings.

Cooking tragedies:
When I was 12 we got our first microwave and my first recipe was meatloaf, following the oven directions. It was meatrock, and we were stuck trying to eat it. Another time (also when I was 12) I misread a recipe and put a cup of baking soda into a cake batter. Fortunately, I discovered the mistake before it went into the oven.

Green Salad

"A green salad is a quick, easy, and delicious way to get your veggies. You can purchase a ready-made salad or create your own. To create, simply chop up a tomato, tear two cups of the lettuce, and dice half of one peeled cucumber. Add additional toppings as desired."
