Military wife who enjoys traveling around the world learning new cultures and cooking techniques. ANYTHING with chicken (it's my absolute favorite food), and desserts that include chocolate and peanut butter combined. YUM. Even though my husband and I aren't religious, each year we celebrate the holidays by baking multiple batches of treats to feed to our families. I finally mastered my mom's homemade cornbread. It took nearly 3 years, but now that I know how to get it just right I bake it at least once a month. I didn't notice my nephew had thrown a plastic lid into the oven once, and when I fired it up to bake a pizza the lid caught on fire and nearly burnt down half of the kitchen! Had to get a new range and replace 2 upper cabinets, but at least the rest of the house was intact!
