I am a real estate agent in the northern virginia area. I have four wonderful kids whom I bake and cook lavish meals for everyday. One day they will appreciate it, but right now they are very picky eaters.
My favorite things to cook
I am famous for my caesar salad, decorated sugar cookies, cranberry bread, pumpkin bread, spinach dip, stuffed mushrooms, crab cakes, birthday cakes, spaghetti sauce, apple pie etc...
My favorite family cooking traditions
I love to do a traditional turkey on thanksgiving and I am starting to do a roast goose and plum pudding for christmas. I love old fashioned recipies and try to be as basic as possible using the freshest ingredients.
My cooking triumphs
I once baked a mini wedding cake. It looked beautiful. I also sold 60 cookies dipped in chocolate with bows attached with icing to a complete stranger. SHe wanted them for a favor for her sons wedding. She gave me $240 for them. I was a proud mama
