Married with 2 young sons. I have a college degree and have worked various jobs on college campuses. Now I am a household manager! I genuinely enjoy grocery shopping: what a luxury! This summer our garden includes tomatoes, eggplant, cabbage, spinach, peas, herbs, peppers, zucchini, yellow squash, gourds. Satisfying, healthy meals for my family; baking cookies, cakes, muffins; learning new and healthy ways to serve vegetables Iced sugar cookies at Christmas; sausage/cornbread stuffing at Thanksgiving; canning/preserving tomato sauce and fruit jams; Hoppin' John soup for New Year's Hearing real gratitude from my husband and boys for the meals I serve; having my cherry pie sell for $100 at our church's fancy dessert auction; hearing my mother and mother-in-law compliment my cooking Making fresh tomato soup with tomatoes from my garden: when I poured it into the blender, I had forgotten the screw on the bottom, so the hot soup went right through and mostly down the drain. (At least I was holding it over the sink!)
