I learned to cook mostly from watching my mother cook and bake. After that, it was pretty much trial and error. Spaghetti (I just got it right!), Stir-Fry, Beef Stoganoff, Swedish Meatballs (in the crockpot) Growing up, mom would always make her frosted sugar cookies at Christmas. I finally have a good recipe for spaghetti sauce that I doctored up myself. Even my 19 month old likes it! When I first made mac & cheese and forgot to drain the water before adding the cheese. I had mac & cheese soup!
