I have been cooking since I was about 8 years old. As soon as I could look into the pot without a stool!! I didn't really start experimenting until I got engaged(married in '07). Now when I cook I usually don't measure, I just add a bit this and that. Taste it and add more if need be. One thing about my cooking is it has lots of flavor. I love making up my own stuff and/or changing stuff all the time and my husband absolutely loves it! I like any recipe with lots of chopping.I also plan on making a cook book of my recipes with photo's and give them to my daughters and hope they bring the joy of great food to their homes. I love cooking everything. I like trying new things and experimenting. I got 3rd place in The International Chili Cook Off!!! & Thanksgiving dinners! We all know how hard that meal is to prepare. I am also in the catering business and have had many people come back for thirds telling me they would eat more if they could! It is a bigger compliment then they realize because they are my recipes. :) ::sigh:: Cheddar and broccoli soup.... Also, I cant bake.... but I'm working on it!!
