About Me
No profile added.
My Greatest Cooking TriumphI collect cookbooks & love to cut out recipes I find. My mom once told someone giving me a new recipe that I was unique. Not only do I get new recipes, but I usually try most of them! I have the habit of using my extended family as guines pigs, but they don't mind, because they usually turn out well. They don't always look like they're supposed to, but they taste good!!
My Biggest Kitchen DisasterI was once in a hurry to make an apple pie, and I melted the lard in the microwave-instead of softening it. With it being so soft I ended up leaving out the other wet ingredients (egg, vinegar & water). It rolled out & baked ok, but boy, was it dry & funky tasting! From then on it was known as my Sahara apple pie!!
My Food For ThoughtLife is pretty much one challenge after another. I try to take one day at a time and when that is too much, one hour at a time! My faith in God and the most awesome family helps me get through anything. I always look for the positive in every situation--even when it seems there is none you can find something if you look hard enough. Like my Dad always told me, "If you can't say something nice, say nothing at all!!"
My InterestsBaking, cooking, reading, puzzles writing, and spending time with my amazing family!!
