I'm a mom, and I go to school full time. I love to cook, but my family can't eat dairy, so it's hard for me to cook some of my favorite dishes. Pasta, any chicken dishes, meat pies, fish (i do live in New England after all!), cakes and cookies (when I get in the mood). We have a few things that we make every holiday, like Easter is always Polish cuisine, and Xmas we always make date squares, fudge, and peanut-butter balls. I reluctantly gave up my grandmother's recipe for roasted chicken to try my dad's...and it was better! I'm so glad I gave in and just did it :) One time I made a HUGE pot of red clam chowder..and I added way too many red pepper flakes..it was so spicy it made me choke. I had to throw the whole pot away. It was a nightmare..I cried. Also, I recently tried to make Tres Leche cake..It came out so bad, it actually made me sick. I threw up all night.
