Married with 3 grown children. So we are officially empty nesters, which changes the cooking habits of making food for 5 all the time!
My middle son is married with a lovely wife (that can outcook anyone) and has 3 children 1 daughter and 2 sons.
My favorite things to cook
Chicken - love, love, love chicken - about any way it can be made!! Also love salads - pasta especially. TOMATOES... always a favorite in about anything
My favorite family cooking traditions
Grandma's cookies - she never measured - just knew what to put in them!! She also made homemade bread every Saturday and would send loaves home with who ever stopped by!
My cooking triumphs
My salads are a favorite... that is something I don't have to measure anymore!!
My cooking tragedies
Breads - never has mastered the art of pastries or breads or a pie crust either! -- can take the pie crust off of the 'have never done' list... before the holidays my husband and I made pie crusts and they actually turned out pretty good!
