I'm a 44 year-old mom with 3 children at home ranging in age from 7 to 18. My 18 year old is getting better with cooking and my 11 year old is getting into the mix also. I've been cooking since I was 9 and by the time I was 17, I was cooking the majority of the meals in my household. In addition to raising my family, I also run my own business and help my husband run his. There's always something going on! We entertain often so I'm constantly getting opportunities to test my skills! Anything that tastes good! But I'm a very busy lady so I'm especially partial to recipes that have simple ingredients but taste great! Making cookies every year at Christmas. My husband is hispanic so having my father-in-law tell me that a Mexican meal I made was as good as home was a really big deal for me. Serving undercooked fried chicken at a cookout.
