I love to cook and have been cooking most of my life. My Mom and Grandmothers were great cooks and gave me a good start. But I have taught myself a lot since I moved away from them early in my marriage. I love reading cookbooks and browsing the recipes on this site.
My favorite things to cook
I make pizza about once weekly. I like to make cookies and desserts. Many years ago when they first came out with Airbake cookie sheets I bought them. Love them! Your cookies stay nice and chewy and never burn or get too dry. Pot roast and fried chicken are 2 of favorites. My husband and I enjoy Mexican, Italian,and chinese food but good old American home cooking is the best.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love all the traditional Thanksgiving foods. My daughter and I have prefected a brined turkey, cornbread dressing, and gravy. I make candied sweet potatoes and cranberry relish too and of course pumpkin pie!
