I am a mom of one special needs little boy...he is my angel. And the "step"-mom to two wonderful teenagers. I love good food, good wine, and good friends and family! I am currently enrolled in the International Culinary School at the Art Institute of Portland.
My favorite things to cook
FOOD!!! I love food...I love to cook food...the more the marrier!!! Ultimately I love those quick recipes with few ingredients that just make your mouth say YES YES YES YES YES!!!!
My favorite family cooking traditions
Much to my dismay there isn't much cooking tradition in my family. My grandmother was an amazing cook...but the only thing I took from my short time with her was her spaghetti...which I have made my own over the years.
My cooking triumphs
My spaghetti is rockin' (or so I've been told). I make some pretty mean burgers (both beef and turkey)...I love to experiment with burgers, constantly trying to make them more fun, more interesting, and more mouthwatering! I also make a mean set of baby-backs! ;) YUM!
My cooking tragedies
UGH...too many to name!!! :-P
