I have three little boys, two of which are very picky eaters, so I'm always trying to make things that they'll like.
My family and I just moved back to Pennsylvania after my husband separated from the Navy. We were previously stationed in Charleston, South Carolina and before then, Norfolk, VA. I already miss all of the good food in Charleston!
I love taking pictures of my kids, reading, making invitations and cards in photoshop, decorating our new home and I have just started to take up sewing.
My favorite things to cook
I LOVE to bake. Especially cupcakes and cake. I'm not much of a decorator, but I can make a delicious cake!
My family enjoys a lot of pastas and stir frys. We also just got our first gas grill and I've been loving that! It's so much quicker than charcoal! =)
I love to try new recipes. I'd say that I try something new at least once a week, if not more.
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mother is half Korean, and I love cooking with her. We usually make kimchi and Korean BBQ together for most of our family get togethers.
My cooking triumphs
I've become very proud of the fact that I can make cakes and cupcakes without any recipes now. I can just kind of throw things together, a lot of the time without measuring, even!
My cooking tragedies
In the past I've made many failed cakes that were too moist (no matter how long I put them back in the oven) or had those cakes that sink in the middle...just not pretty looking!
And it's also always a tragedy to have to do the dishes after cooking! =)
