Hobbies:
I'm a wife, and a mom of 2 kids, 3 if you count my husband! I try to eat healthy and organic is a must with chicken, yogurt and eggs. I give veggies and fruit for snacks at school...and my kids love it. I sometimes as if they want pretzels and they usually say no. I sneak veggies into their favorites, like Mac & Cheese...they never know the difference.
My favorite things to cook
Slow cooker recipes because it's so nice to have your meal ready and waiting for you at the end of the day.
My favorite family cooking traditions
Homemade pizza dough, which reminds me of my grandparents. The dough isn't their recipe, though. I feel I'm making our own traditions as my kids grow and ask for certain foods I make.
My cooking triumphs
Venison, which husband brings home from hunting.
My cooking tragedies
I had my apartment building evacuated due to a bubbling-over veggie lasagna. It was very embarrassing. The lasagna ended up tasting great (of course, it was infused with smoke). But, I learned my lesson that certain vegetables release more moisture than others :)
