I am busy married mother of 3 who works full time and loves to try new things. I have a tiny kitchen and I can sure make a big mess in it! I love to bake - whether it's a cake or a casserole. I even make chili in the oven instead of on the stove. I love holiday cooking. Thanksgiving and Christmas are my favorite. The kids like to help bake Christmas cookies and make fudge and other cute treats. I have practically ruined people for all carrot cakes except mine. I feel triumphant every time any cake comes out of the bundt pan! And the kids love my veggie soups and homemade pizza. Tried to make a three layer german chocolate cake in to a two layer german chocolate cake and what bubbled over set my oven on fire! I have burned several units out of the poor old stove - might have to replace it soon.
