I am a single mother of 2 teenagers a boy & a girl, they keep me very busy in the kitchen because they love to eat! Since I am fortunate enough to have a wonderful mother that had the patience enough to teach me to to cook my kids don't like eating out at fast food restaurants! Keeps me busy but I love it! Also, 4 years ago my mother lost her eyesight to glaucoma and now I get to repay her by helping her cook and sometimes providing her meals! Oh yeah my best friend is thankful for my talents as well she doesn't cook much cuz she just doesn't like to. So, I usually make huge portions to take left overs for her poor kids that are tired of casseroles! lol! love you Jodi :-)
My favorite things to cook
Swedish meatballs,Roast,Grilled Cabbage, Stuffed Mushrooms, Stuffed Jalepenos,chicken & dumplings & now Cinnamon Rolls!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Every Sunday I get up and fix a huge breakfast! The main thing I make is what we call a Hobo Breakfast! I will submit the recipe so you will know why it is called that!
My cooking triumphs
I finally finally found a good recipe for Cinnamon Rolls I never thought I would be able to make cinnamon rolls that tasted good!
My cooking tragedies
I have always made homemade noodles for chicken and noodles but I decided to try a Chicken & Dumpling recipe and it was absolutely horrible...I know i did something wrong but have no idea what it was I did! I decided to use canned biscuits instead!
