Do you like to cook or bake and if so, what things do you most enjoy making?
I enjoy both when I don't feel rushed. Mostly I like to cook new things. I try to incorporate one new recipe each week. It helps keep weekly dinners fun.

For baking, my favorite thing to make is a cake my grandmother always made. She used to make it for my birthday every year and also at Christmas. I was very honored when she asked me to come over one day and learn how to make it. I carefully recorded all the steps and shared the method with my cousins so they could make it too. My Grandma died that next summer. I'm so grateful for that special memory of her. My kids and I make the cake for my family at Christmas now.

What is your favorite holiday tradition?
