My favorite things to cook
During our cold Maine winters I experiment with various soups, stews & crockpot recipes. But during our (too short) summers I barbecue and use fresh ingredients from my garden. I like grilling vegetables, beef, pork, chicken, fish & fruits. I like cooking Tex-Mex style ( I make a mean salsa).
My favorite family cooking traditions
1)Big Sunday breakfast for my children : sausage, bacon, potatoes, eggs and pancakes or french toast. 2) Steak & Seafood Grill: at least 2 times a summer we have lobster, corn on the cob, steamers, cold salads (potato, macaroni, etc.) with steak & baby back ribs. 3) Letting the kids (particularly the boys) cook dinner one night a week ... this taught them how to cook enough to survive as adults (without a microwave).
