I'm a busy office manager always looking for those great quick, and easy meals my husband will love. He's very 'meat and potatoes' though and I never get to try something different or exotic!
My favorite things to cook
I make killer spaghetti and meatballs, homemade pizza (in the oven and the BBQ), homemade bread (I make it every week...by hand!)I do a mean stir fry too. Chicken fried steak or fried chicken is my favorite..with mashed potatoes and gravy!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Christmas cookies that are frosted and decorated. Clam dip...which is simply cream cheese and a can of chopped clams, juice and all. It's a family tradition at all gatherings. Thanksgiving dinners with mountains of mashed potatoes and gravy to keep my brothers fed!
My cooking triumphs
My spaghetti and meatballs.I do several stir fries depending on what I have on hand. Pizza on the grill. Roast dinner. Me and my 6 qt dutch oven can do anything!
My cooking tragedies
Too many to go into here! When my husband tries something new I've made and says "Mmmm, good. But....lets not make this again"! Then that's a tragedy! When he says to add it to my recipe box then it's a triumph.
