MORE
I live vicariously through the Food Network. I love to cook and bake and usually end up with more food than I can possibly eat! My dream is to one day open up my own bakery and share my love of cooking with the world.
My favorite things to cook
I love to cook seafood and anything on a grill. I also love to bake anything sweet, especially cookies. I don't think I have ever fully followed a recipe, I am always adding things and improving. Eat good, look good, feel good!
My favorite family cooking traditions
My mom cooks the same Christmas cookies every year. It's something everyone in my family looks forward to.
My cooking triumphs
Cooking an entire Christmas feast for my family. I always cook on special occasions. It brings people together and it's something that I can do to show people how much I care. One day I hope to tackle a homemade biscuit recipe for my dog, we will see how that goes!
My cooking tragedies
I baked my dad a cake for his birthday once. It was a delicious sounding marble cake that I had iced perfectly. Unfortunately, the cake turned out to be almost completely inedible, but it looked great. Oh well, it's the thought that counts!
