I was a cook in the military for four years. Now I am a police officer and a baker on the side. I love baking cakes and desserts and decorating them! Cake, Cake Pops, Cookies, Sweet Breads, Homemade pizza, Quiche,Chicken and Dumplings, Chicken Paprikash. Thanksgiving a Christmas desserts. We always have sweet potato casserole and green been casserole on the holidays. I have a few recipes that I love to make that my family has been making forever such as Chicken Paprikash and my grandmother's chicken soup. My cakes are my biggest triumphs. Cake Pops are my latest success! I also love finding or making up a good homemade recipe! My latest cooking triumph was coming up with a recipe for southwestern quiche. Yum! Well my last two tragedies involved forgetting about the vegetables. I forgot I was steaming broccoli once and turned it a lovely grey color. And last time I forgot the asparagus in the broiler and basically dehydrated it. LOL
