I love to try new recipes and cook, but life gets in the way and most often can't find the time. but when I do my family are the testers and love it! I love to bake especially cookies and muffins. Go way overboard at Christmas. I also enjoy canning and making jellies. My family loves my Thanksgiving dinners which always include Bourbon Roasted Turkey and my Mom's stuffing (tweaked just a little :) Maria's Paella - which I found on this site. Made it for a dinner party and was a great success. Half cooked fish when newly married. My husband won't let me live it down.
