I make wedding videos and teach piano. I love to cook and bake, and can't wait to do it in my own kitchen instead of my mom's. :)
My favorite things to cook
I love to bake cookies and invent new cookie recipes. I also love almost anything with rice in it and Mexican food! Whatever you make, I'll probably put hot sauce on it.
My favorite family cooking traditions
We mostly have Christmas traditions involving decorating sugar cookies and cooking those little sausages in BBQ sauce. I make homemade Chex Mix and we have lots of foods that we only get at Christmas, but they are my favorites!
My cooking triumphs
I am the cookie queen. I also make a mean Mexican casserole or soup.
My cooking tragedies
Cheesecake and cake in general seem to escape me. I keep trying. I can make one according to a recipe, but I am not satisfied with my attempts at improvisation in this area. One cheesecake I made had to be thrown out after coming out of the oven about 1 inch thick. There's a dozen eggs wasted! :)
