First and foremost, I am a child of God/born again Christian! I live to serve and glorify Him! I am married to my wonderful husband and together we have five beautiful children, so far, and two happy-go-lucky dogs. I enjoy cooking for family and friends, even the dogs, too. I enjoy being with my family, reading, cooking, and exploring God's creation. www.thegoodpersontest.com, www.wayofthemaster.com
My favorite things to cook
Mexican food!!! Authentic or "American authentic", I seem to make Mexican food often. Our friends joke that our house is the "(Our first names) Mexican Restaurant", because that's what is usually on the menu for our guests. I also love to make Thanksgiving/Christmas dinner. And the crockpot is my best friend in cooking! Pretty much anything except dishes with Italian white sauces (i.e. alfredo). My stomach doesn't sit well with white sauces, not sure why. Lately, we've incorporated a healthier eating pattern in our household, so often times, I make recipes with healthier alternatives. However, we are in no way health buffs (not yet, at least). :)
My favorite family cooking traditions
We have lots of them, but too many to mention. Call me lazy!
My cooking triumphs
I consider all meals a triumph if they come out tasting good! :) But I must say, my favorite cooking triumph was making an entire Thanksgiving dinner for my husband the first year we were married. Homemade rolls and all. He also remembers that meal fondly and we love to reminisce about that day.
My cooking tragedies
No real tragedies, necessarily, but I will admit I get the fire dept. called out to my house about every couple years from burning something. Haha! :) Usually from cooking something in oil on the stovetop. We have a super sensitive alarm system that's stubborn, that's why. No major fires!
