I am a SAHM of a little boy who is 3 years old. I enjoy making homemade meals for my family. I get bored cooking & eating the same things week in & week out. My husband ends up as my culinary guinea pig, but he doesn't seem to mind. lol
My favorite things to cook
I don't really have a favorite thing to cook. I just like cooking, in general. If I have to choose something I'll go by seasons. In winter I like to make soups & stews. Clam Chowder is my fave. Spring, I like to make salads. The Asian salad recipe on this site is fab. Summer is all about grilling & bbq-ing. And autumn I like to do lots of crock pot stuff.
My favorite family cooking traditions
I'm not much on tradition. I like to do my own thing.
My cooking triumphs
Considering I used to cook out of boxes, just about anything I make anymore is a triumph for me. My husband would tell you my homemade chicken noodle soup. I came up with the recipe off the top of my head & he raves about it.
My cooking tragedies
Rice pudding, for sure. I don't know why either. I followed the reciped to a tee. I'm not good at baking. It's my cooking downfall. Alas, I'll never be a pastry chef. LOL
