I am married and have six grandchildren, ranging in age from one week old to 15 years old. I work full time as a psychiatric nurse in a state hospital and really love my job. I come from an old german family background with seven brothers and three sisters. I have picked up alot of my cooking experience from my Mom, whom I miss very much. I enjoy hosting family gatherings at my house throughout the year in which we usually end up in the kitchen around the table. I love baking desserts, I use alot of Splenda, since alot of my family is diabetic. And with my working schedule I enjoy using my crockpots for easy meals. I cooking for the Thanksgiving Family Gathering in which I am in charge of the sugarfree pies.
