Planning menus, finding recipes and feeding my family for less are challenges I enjoy. We also avidly stockpile for emergencies...like after that next baby when nobody feels like heading to the store! I love pie...eating it, baking it, serving it, and even just looking at it! I also love the old-fashioned meat and potatoes type cooking. Cooking with my children is definitely a high point. The past seven years of my marriage. The first seven years of my marriage.
