I have three young kids, so I'm always trying to find healthy, budget-friendly, quick recipes the kids will actually eat.
My favorite things to cook
Old family recipes, starchy comfort foods, and desserts!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Decorating sugar cookies with the kids and making my grandmother's old fashioned toffee recipe at Christmastime.
My cooking triumphs
I won "Best of Show" from all categories in a County Fair in Texas when I was twelve years old with an old family recipe. I've also come a long way from when I was newly married and we lived on Hamburger Helper and pancakes, though I've got a long way to go.
My cooking tragedies
Leaving home with the oven on and the timer set to cook dinner, SURE I'll be home in time, is a bad idea. Again. And again.
