I would love to open a bakery one day. If you've ever heard of Sprinkles in Los angeles, thats my dream!
My favorite things to cook
Cupcakes, cookies, bars, cakes, carbonara, sweet sausage & penne pasta, peach chicken, PB & banana pancakes, and my own fried rice.
My favorite family cooking traditions
The turkey soup my mother makes every thanksgiving with leftovers. My dads brownies , mac & cheese cassarole w/ sausage and homemade pizza (he passed 5 yrs ago and I also remember these 3 things).
My cooking triumphs
My Peanut butter chocolate cake that FINALLY won 1st place in our churches annual bake off. I always came in 2nd or 3rd to my mother. This cake was hands down the best thing I've ever made. The peach chicken I made to impress a past boyfriends parents. They raved about it. Also the cornbread & sweet tea I made for friends in California. My famous pumpkin cookies I make every fall & the 4th of July cake has become my personal tradition for the past 3 years.
My cooking tragedies
When I was 6 , trying to impress my mother I attempted 'Peanut butter cookies' by scooping peanut butter on to cookie sheets and putting them in the oven. :) I have not been able to perfect brownies, and made an awful dessert last christmas ; Chocolate raspberry bars. Not technically my fault, as I followed the recipe, it was horrible b/c it was my entry for our church bake-off, that my mother wins every single year.
