Army spouse who loves to travel, but hates to move. I have one son and four furry kids who keep me very busy.
My favorite things to cook
Since I have a son and husband with two very diverse appetites I am kept busy in the kitchen making what they both like. For my husband I like to cook in large batches in order to have lots of left-overs to keep him full. For my son I like to keep it simple as he doesn't appreciate complex meals, lots of soup and sandwiches for him, with chicken and pastas for variety.
My cooking triumphs
I am known for my chicken dishes which go over very well at Army pot-luck functions. I have been sought out at these events just to be told how much my food is appreciated. It certainly inspires me to keep cooking!
My cooking tragedies
Years ago while living in Tennessee I made a wonderful pumpkin and orange cake to take home to Pennsylvania for Thanksgiving only to find out that no one liked pumpkin....as a result I don't spend much time baking!
